Photopost: Washington DC baseball stadium prepares for the papal Mass

Photos taken today. I hope to be at the Mass this Thursday, with 46,000 other American Catholics.

"Workers assemble the roof structure that will cover the stage where Pope Benedict XVI will say Mass at Nationals Park April 14 in Washington, DC. US President George W. Bush will roll out the red carpet for visiting Pope Benedict XVI on Wednesday during a gala day which concludes with a White House dinner in the pontiff's honor.

"Archbishop Donald Wuerl (L) of Archdiocese of Washington Pope (4th L) tours the Nationals Stadium."
"A crew begins to assemble a stage in the outfield for an outdoor Mass."
"Lorena Gonzalez of Silver Spring, Md., cleans the seating area in the upper deck."
... now that's a proper use for a baseball stadium. ;-)
