The Paris Mennonite Center, located in the suburb of Saint-Maurice, began in the late 1980s as an outgrowth of Mennonite mission work in France dating back to 1953.
Mission workers planted a church that established a sheltered workshop for mentally and physically handicapped adults, and a ministry to international students.
The Mennonite Center houses a library, provides biblical and theological teaching through its staff, and organizes seminars and discussion groups.
