Young Catholics Gather in Paris for Pope Leo XIV Visit

Young French Catholics from the Anuncio movement gathered in Paris ahead of Pope Leo XIV’s visit, carrying paper fortune‑tellers and pop worship songs. The group sought to create a lively, approachable atmosphere as the Pope’s arrival drew crowds to the city.

They fanned out into the crowds awaiting the Pope’s arrival on Friday, hoping to bring strangers closer to God in one of Europe’s most secular countries. The use of playful paper fortune‑tellers and contemporary worship music was intended to engage passersby and invite them into a shared spiritual experience.
