Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Paris expects approximately 1 million people to attend various events this weekend during the visit of Pope Leo XIV. Archbishop Laurent Ulrich of the Diocese of Paris expressed his joy regarding the trip and invited the community to participate in welcoming the pontiff.

The Pope will celebrate Mass on Saturday at Place de Concorde on the Champs-Elysees, where the Archdiocese of Paris has registered 600,000 attendees. A choir of 1,000 singers from across France will lead the music for the liturgy.

At the Stade de France, more than 80,000 young people from Catholic and public schools will attend a prayer vigil. Bishop Étienne Guillet of the Diocese of Saint-Denis said the group includes students who invited friends from Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Buddhist, and Hindu backgrounds to join the event. Guillet noted that the youth hope to receive a message of encouragement from the Pope to share faith and peace.
