    Papal Tix in NYC: Arch. of Baltimore details revealed

    In this week's issue of the Archdiocese of Baltimore's Catholic Review (page 4):

    If you want to see Pope Benedict XVI celebrate Mass in Washington, D.C., or New York during his April 15-20 visit to the United States, you’ll want to be at your computer keyboard at 9 a.m. on Feb. 6. That’s when the Archdiocese of Baltimore will open its Web site for online ticket requests for the two historic events.

    “We have a very limited number of tickets,” said Sean Caine, spokesman for the Archdiocese of Baltimore. “We are giving first priority to registered parishioners of the archdiocese. We’re trying to do it in the most equitable way we can, working under strin­gent deadlines.”

    While both Masses are free, those interested in attending the New York Mass will be required to pay a $53 transpor­tation fee to board chartered busses. They will only be able to gain access to the New York Mass by traveling on official archdiocesan busses, which will leave at 5 a.m. and return at midnight, Mr. Caine said.

    Mr. Caine said there have been numerous requests for tickets in recent weeks, and he expects there to be high demand once the archdioce­san site is opened to requests. He noted that when the Arch­diocese of Philadelphia used a similar system for distributing papal tickets, the tickets went quickly on the first day.

    It seems that information is now being made available in diocesan papers.
    If you read about how folks in your diocese can get tickets to the papal Mass - please - drop me a line!
