After the guided tour of this place of worship, the public is invited to an organ concert by Sylvain Pierson, titular organist of the church.

Saint-Joseph Church has 2 organs:
• A choir organ, built by the famous Cavaillé-Coll firm in 1905 and electrified in 1939 by Jacquot Lavergne.
• A Grand Orgue, installed in 1987 by the postman François Delangue. It comprises 34 games distributed on 3 keyboards. The instrument was inaugurated by a recital by François-Henri Houbart, titular of La Madeleine (Paris). In 1991, François Delangue enlarged the instrument. In 2005, the instrument was restored by Jean-Louis Helleringer, organ builder in Zarbeling (Moselle). The following year, this factor added a fourth keyboard to allow the choir organ to be played by digital transmissions.

À propos du lieu

Église Saint-Joseph

5 Rue de l'Abbé Châtelain, 57950 Montigny-lès-Metz

Moselle
Grand Est

Edifice, in stone of Jaumont, of basilical plan, with three naves, in the style neo-Romanesque Rhine. Stained glass windows made by the master glassmaker Martin of Wiesbaden. The construction of the church was partly due to Abbé Philippe Châtelain, who wanted to have a place of worship equal to the Catholic population, which has been growing rapidly since the middle of the 20th century. After years of deliberation, the project of the architect from Mainz, Ludwig Becker, was selected. The first stone was laid on May 3, 1903\. After three years of work, the church was inaugurated on 29 July 1906 by Bishop Benzler of Metz. The façade of the church overlooking the Place Jeanne d'Arc is pierced by three doors including the large portal surmounted by the statue of Saint Joseph, patron saint of the church. A wide variety of frescoes are organized into five major programs. Note: the representation of many dragons on the stalls, on the canopy, in the glass windows, and even the smallest on the
