Pope Leo XIV to visit France

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV is visiting France on an apostolic journey that includes a stop at UNESCO on September 25. The visit follows invitations from the president of the Republic, bishops, and the Director-General of UNESCO.

UNESCO Deputy Director-General Åsa Regnér told Vatican News that the visit to the United Nations agency is timely and noted that multilateral institutions can help build peace.

The Pope intends to support the Church as it faces secularism and materialism, while also acknowledging the influence of many young baptized adults. According to the Diocese of La Rochelle, the Pope aims to honor the spiritual history of the country. His planned messages include calls for international peace, the dignity of life, education, and solidarity with the vulnerable.
