الزّيارة الرّسوليّة إلى فرنسا: لقاء مع أعضاء جمعيّة السّينودس الإقليميّ، والسّائرين في مسيرة الموعوظين، والمبتدئين في الإيمان في معهد باريس الكاثوليكيّ، 26 أيلول/سبتمبر 2026

During an apostolic visit to France on September 26, 2026, the Pope met with members of the regional synodal assembly, catechumens, and those new to the faith at the Catholic Institute of Paris. The meeting included professors, students, staff, and members of the synodal assembly in the Archdiocese of Paris who are studying pastoral ways to welcome new believers into Church life.

The Pope thanked the group for a working paper they provided, which he described as the result of a process involving the people of God through mutual listening and synodality. During the gathering, he listened to testimonies from individuals named Josué, Marielle, and Sophie. He noted the high number of adults seeking the sacraments of Christian initiation, observing that this increase in people discovering the Gospel is occurring within the largely secular context of French society.
