Pope Leo XIV to visit Paris

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit Paris on Friday, September 25, 2026.

The visit includes stops to address social integration at Maison Bakhita, material poverty in Saint-Denis, and the spiritual heritage found at Notre-Dame. According to Vatican News, the trip also highlights the city's historical and artistic assets recognized by Unesco.

While local parishes have decorated with Vatican colors, cath.ch reports that the atmosphere in the streets remains more reserved and characterized by quiet curiosity compared to the fervor seen during the pope's previous visit to Madrid in June.
