Pope Leo XIV visited Maison Bakhita, a reception and support center dedicated to displaced persons, before the large-scale Mass scheduled later in Paris.
This visit is part of the papal trip's focus on migration issues, a recurring theme in the Pope's statements during his travels.
On site, the pontiff was able to exchange with people welcomed by the facility, as well as with volunteers and officials involved in supporting displaced persons.
This stop precedes the outdoor Mass expected to draw hundreds of thousands of faithful to Paris, and confirms Leo XIV's particular attention to people in vulnerable situations during his visit to France.
