Young Catholics organize prayer efforts for France following recent civil unrest

Thousands of young Catholic people are using social media, WhatsApp groups, and Hozana prayer chains to pray for France. This movement follows recent riots, looting, and violence occurring during protests against the high cost of living and insufficient resources for the national education system.

On a Parisian mutual aid website, a 28-year-old woman named Sophie proposed organizing a large prayer vigil for the country using the method of Saint Genevieve. Sophie also reported starting a novena to Marcel Van to support the nation.
