Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV will visit France from Friday, September 25, to Monday, September 28, 2026.

Cardinal François-Xavier Bustillo said the Pope will support a spiritual awakening in the West.

The visit occurs as more than one in two inhabitants in France declare themselves without religion. La Croix reports the country's spiritual landscape is currently shaped by its Catholic heritage, religious diversification, and a search for meaning.
