Winnipeg bride realizes dream of meeting pope

 

Sometimes you just need a fun and uplifting story—like this one, about a Winnipeg bride who realized her dream of a lifetime when she and her husband received a blessing from Pope Leo XIV in Rome. 

Bénédicte LeMaître, 31, and Stéphan Kosowski, 38, who were married on July 25, got tickets from the Vatican to sit in the “Sposi novelli,” or “newlyweds,” section in St. Peter’s Square for the pope’s general audience on July 30. 

“It’s been my dream in life to meet a pope,” said LeMaître. 

But it gets better; after the general audience, Bénédicte and Stéphan received a personal blessing from him.
