Pope to Teams of Our Lady: 'Be courageous witnesses to faith, hope, fraternity' (Vatican News)

On August 6, Pope Francis received youth of the Équipes Notre-Dame (Teams of Our Lady). Founded by Father Henri Caffarel in 1939, the international movement received Vatican approval in 1992.

“I encourage you to entrust yourselves daily to the Virgin Mary,” Pope Francis said. “She will also help you to grow as an équipe (team), sharing the gifts you received in a spirit of dialogue and of mutual acceptance. Our Lady will help you to have a generous heart, to discover the joy of freely serving others.”
