Pope Leo XIV to preside over Mass at Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will preside over a Mass at the Lourdes sanctuary on Sunday, September 27. Organizers expect at least 150,000 people to gather in the sanctuary's Prairie for the celebration.

Father Nicola Ventriglia, the coordinator for Italian pilgrims in Lourdes, said the Pope's visit is intended as a gesture to stand alongside those who suffer rather than a protocol visit. The Pope is scheduled to visit the Massabielle grotto to pray before the Mass. Following the celebration, the Pope will lead the Angelus and meet with the sick. If possible, he will also meet with the last three or four recognized miracle recipients.
