Frigolet Abbey

Frigolet Abbey — Basilica of Immaculate Conception — The Pontifical Shrine of Saint Joseph is a grand Premonstratensian monastery complex in southern France. It is located in the territorial commune of Tarascon, in the region of the Montagnette, the parishes of which are served by the canons of the monastery. It was originally associated with the Order of Saint Benedict.

Pope Pius IX granted a decree of Pontifical coronation towards an image of Saint Joseph on 30 September 1874, now enshrined within its chapel. Pope John Paul II issued a decree that raised a sanctuary within the abbey to the status of basilica on 12 June 1984, decreed to the devotion of “Our Lady of Good Remedy”, though the basilica structure is now named in honor of the Immaculate Conception.
