Pope Leo XIV visits France

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

In brief

Pope Leo XIV will conduct an apostolic journey to France from September 25 to 28. During the visit, the pope is scheduled to visit Paris and Metz.

Bishop Benoît Bertrand, the bishop of Pontoise and president of the trip's organizing committee, is overseeing final preparations for the arrival. In some areas, such as Baugé-en-Anjou, parishioners are organizing travel, including a diocesan bus from Angers to Paris, to attend the events.

French Catholics hope the visit provides renewed energy for a Church facing long-term secularization. According to OSV News, some believers are looking for a momentum similar to the impact of Saint John Paul II during World Youth Day in 1997.
