The Pope's visit to France in September

It is a source of immense joy! Our Pope Leo XIV is coming to France from September 25 to 28, 2026.

"What extraordinary grace!"

He will visit the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Paris, the Shrine of Lourdes, and Metz, where he will pay tribute to Robert Schuman—a founder of the European Union whose beatification process has been underway for many years and who was declared Venerable by Pope Francis in 2021.

Priests, seminarians, deacons, consecrated persons, and religious men and women are all invited to Notre-Dame Cathedral.

We are preparing to welcome this grace that God wishes to bestow upon the Church in France, and upon each and every one of us!

We rejoice with the entire French population, and with all those who dwell on French soil! And indeed, with the whole Christian world!
