Pope Leo XIV to visit France

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit Paris, Lourdes, and Metz in France from Sept. 25 to 28 to meet with migrants, the sick, government officials, and young people. According to Catholic News Agency, the Pope intends to discuss topics including immigration, artificial intelligence, and the current state of the Catholic Church in France.

The trip begins on Sept. 25 when the Pope presides over solemn vespers at Notre-Dame de Paris. This marks the first papal liturgy held inside the cathedral since the 2019 fire. During the visit, the Pope will also celebrate Mass at the Place de la Concorde in Paris.

Camille Dalmas of Aleteia reports that 85 journalists have been authorized to travel on the Pope's ITA Airways flight to Paris, which is five more than on previous trips.
