In 1859, the parish priest of the Madeleine Church, Father Le Rebours, created a mission and had a chapel built by the Lazarists, a congregation founded by St. Vincent de Paul. Father Le Rebours is a former secretary to Sister Rosalie Rendu (died 1856). The chapel was dedicated to Saint Rosalie, a 3rd century martyr and patron saint of Sicily.However the work by Baron Hausmann, which upset the capital, also affected the district. Sister-Rosalie Avenue was pierced and the chapel destroyed. It was replaced in 1867 - with expropriation allowances - by a building built in neo-Gothic style on the plans of the architect H. Marchand. In 1963, the church was erected as a parish. In 1971, the Lazarists left the site. Saint-Rosalie is a church with sober decoration. However, it boasts beautiful neo-Gothic capitals (enriched with a carved cornice) and a splendid stained glass window by Édouard-Amédée Didron (1836-1902) in the choir.

The instrument was built by Mutin-Cavaillé-Coll in 1900. He was blessed in 1902. Its wind suplly remained totally authentic throughout the 20th century and was fully restored by François Delangue in 2012. In 2019, the instrument was restored by François Delangue.
