Anticipation Builds as Marseille Awaits Pope Francis’ Arrival

A few hours before the Pope’s arrival, Marseille is impatient. This Friday at 5 p.m., he will go to Notre-Dame de la Garde, the good mother for the people of Marseille. The entire neighborhood is already cordoned off under high surveillance. The lives of the inhabitants are disrupted. Nearly 350,000 visitors are expected Friday and Saturday, coming from the four corners of the country, like this group of twelve young Catholics who left Montpellier on Thursday evening. Nearly three hours later, here they are in Marseille, hosted free of charge in a parish. No question for them of going to the hotel, prices jumped by 60% this weekend. Everyone is impatiently awaiting Pope Francis’ message about poverty and migrants. Starting with the legal aid association at the Cimade asylum. According to our information, before mass at the Vélodrome tomorrow, the pope will make a detour to a religious congregation in one of the most popular districts of Marseille, near Saint-Charles station.
