Entrusted to the care of the sisters of Notre Dame du Refuge, the establishment was a moral and financial failure and was forced to close by a Royal order. In 1803, the chapel was attached to the catechism of perseverance, i.e. the more advanced teaching that children follow once they have received their first solemn communion, and took its name from this. It currently houses contemporary art exhibitions.
