Light a prayer candle

Would you like to pray for a loved one, for a deceased person or for peace?

In gratitude, for a special intention, for a living or deceased loved one, there are three ways to light a candle at the basilica.

  • 1. On site during your visit. In front of each chapel you can light a small candle or a novena (large candle that burns for 9 days) and make your offering using the trunks and terminals placed near the chapels.
  • 2. Online on our website: you can tell us your prayer intention and how many novena candles you would like. A Benedictine sister from the Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre will then place them for you in the basilica in front of the silver statue of the Sacred Heart.

  • 3. By post. Write to a Benedictine sister of the Sacré-Coeur de Montmartre and add your offering (10 euros for the novena) and a sister will light a candle for you in front of the silver statue of the Sacred Heart. Please send your offering by post to: Basilique du Sacré-Cœur (Bureau d’accueil bougie) – 35, rue du Chevalier de la Barre – 75018 Paris
