Pope Leo XIV to pray with youth in France

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV held an evening prayer with young people at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis on September 25, 2026.

During the event, a 25-year-old pharmacy student named Chloé asked the pope how young Catholics can balance their missionary zeal with authentic brotherhood toward those who do not share their faith. Chloé, who works with a Catholic youth group called La Cité Céleste in the Île-de-France region, described her efforts to connect faith with the daily reality of life in urban neighborhoods.

The pope thanked the participants for their courage and faith, calling the attendees the saints of France.
