Pope Leo XIV to pray at Church of Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will pray at the Church of Saint-Joseph-des-Carmes during his visit to the Institut Catholique de Paris on Saturday, September 26.

The Pope is scheduled to spend time at the "stairway of martyrs," a site where dozens of Catholics, mostly priests, were killed during the French Revolution in September 1792. The church, which was part of a former Discalced Carmelite convent, served as a prison for religious figures during that period. The crypt of the church now holds the relics of those killed.

The Institut Catholique de Paris also notes that Blessed Frédéric Ozanam taught at the location and that Christian de Chergé, a monk from Tibhirine, was once associated with the institution.
