Pope Leo XIV visits Paris' Maison Bakhita
Pope Leo XIV visited the Maison Bakhita social integration center in Paris on September 26, 2026. During the second day of his trip to France, the pope spoke to staff and volunteers at the center, which is run by the Scalabrinians and serves the Archdiocese of Paris.
In his address, the pope praised the work of those who support and train people in fragile situations, describing every encounter as an exchange of gifts. He stated that no one is so poor that they have nothing to give and no one is so rich that they have nothing to receive. He also highlighted the essential role of women in building a civilization of love to counter loneliness in cities.
