Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV met with staff and guests of Accueil Notre-Dame during his apostolic journey to France on September 27, 2026. The Bishop of Tarbes and Lourdes, Jean-Marc Micas, and the head of the facility, Mathias Terrier, welcomed the Pope upon his arrival.

The meeting included a song and testimonies from a doctor and a staff member before the Pope delivered a speech. Following the formal gathering, the Pope visited the fifth floor of the facility to speak with several sick individuals and representatives from associations working at the Sanctuary.

After the meeting at Accueil Notre-Dame, the Pope walked to the Carmelite Monastery of Lourdes for a private meeting with contemplative religious sisters. He later returned to the Bishop's House for a private meeting with several abuse victims.
