Accueil Notre-Dame, medico e malata: il dolore è mistero, lenito, apre alla speranza

Pope Leo XIV met with staff and residents of the Accueil Notre-Dame hospitality center following a Mass at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of Lourdes. Since 1997, the facility attached to the sanctuary has hosted 750,000 people, including patients, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities.

During the visit, a healthcare worker described the center as a place where staff share fragments of warm humanity. Margherite, a staff member who lives with permanent injuries from an accident, told the Pope that she considers it a grace to work at the location she loves.
