A Catholic wave has captured France. On Friday Pope Leo XIV will come to a four-day visit. Highlight will be a Mass with more than 600,000 faithful in the square of La Concorde. Also many non-Catholics want to hear the Pope's message of peace.
Leon XIV's trip to France is to celebrate the renewed dynamism of Catholicism in the country, where the number of baptisms of adolescents and adults is on the increase. This phenomenon is accompanied by an affirmation of conservative forces.
Leon XIV begins his visit this Friday, September 25, 2026 in a France that is thirsty for unity, sense and fraternity.
A few hours before Pope Leo XIV arrived in Paris, the sociologist Yann Raison du Cleuziou drew up the identity card for French Catholics. A Catholicism "whose internal atmosphere may appear more classical", anchored to the right.
Leo XIV will spend four days in France and meet millions of people in the three cities he visits from September 25–28. For months, Catholic enthusiasm—and not just theirs—has been steadily growing. This is confirmed by Archbishop Celestino Migliore, the Holy See's representative in France.
