Pope Leo XIV to visit Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV arrived at the Marian shrine in Lourdes on the evening of Saturday, September 26. Following his time in Paris, the pope is making a pilgrimage to the site where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1858.

Pilgrims can see the pope from the popemobile during several greetings between his arrival and a Sunday Mass held on the Prairie. Fr. James Phelan, the coordinating chaplain for English-speaking pilgrims, described the shrine as a special home of Mary where the pope will pray for the world.
