Pope Leo XIV to visit Lourdes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit Lourdes on Saturday, September 26, and Sunday, September 27, 2026.

Bishop Jean-Marc Micas of Tarbes and Lourdes said the local community is preparing for the visit. The Pope's schedule includes praying at the grotto, meeting with the sick, and celebrating Mass on the meadow. He is also expected to participate in a torchlight procession and the Rosary.

The visit sees the Pope acting as a pilgrim at the sanctuary where the Virgin Mary appeared in 1858. Large crowds of faithful are expected to join him for the prayers and services.
