Pope Leo tells hundreds of thousands of young Catholics to build a better world | GMA Integrated News Pope Leo offered blessings to hundreds of thousands of young people filling a vast field on the outskirts of Rome on Saturday, August 2, 2025, in the largest event yet of the new Catholic pontiff's tenure, as part of a special weekend aimed at energizing Catholic youth. Young people from more than 146 countries, some wearing colourful bandanas to ward off the hot summer sun, were pressed against fences in the Tor Vergata field as Leo toured the crowd in his white popemobile in late afternoon. Many of the youth are expected to sleep in the field overnight, waiting for a second chance to see Leo on Sunday morning, August 3, when the pope is due to celebrate a Catholic mass. The weekend events are tied to the ongoing Catholic Holy Year, which the Vatican says the event has attracted some 17 million pilgrims to Rome since it started at the end of 2024. | via Reuters Video courtesy: Vatican Media via Reuters #gmaintegratednews #BreakingNews GMA Network promotes healthy debate and conversation online.
