September 25 and 26 are shaping up to be very busy days in Paris. Indeed, for the first time in 18 years, the Pope will walk the streets of Paris! An event eagerly awaited by thousands of believers, which is already shaping up to be historic. Indeed, following the youth vigil scheduled for September 25 at the Stade de France—for which registration filled up in just a few minutes—the Pope has another highlight in store for the faithful: a massive, free Mass open to all on the Champs-Élysées.
A free, XXL Mass on the Champs-Élysées
On Saturday, September 26, a massive, free Mass will take place between the Champs-Élysées and the Place de la Concorde. It will be a truly memorable moment for thousands of Christians, who will gather in droves to see and hear Pope Leo XIV.
While registration is strongly recommended given the large crowds expected— to help the organizers facilitate your access to the event—it will still be possible to attend without registering. The organizers remind everyone: this event is free and open to all.
Online registration will not allow you to gain faster access to the celebration, nor will it guarantee you a seat or priority access in line. It simply allows the organizers to manage the flow of the faithful and better distribute them between the two venues. Those who register will receive essential information about the celebration, such as the recommended arrival time, etc.
For those who have not registered, it is recommended that you arrive early to ensure you can attend this exceptional moment of communion. Approximately 500,000 people are expected.
