There will be a few opportunities to see Pope Benedict, even for those who couldn’t get tickets to the Masses at Washington Nationals Ballpark and Yankee Stadium, according to the USCCB.
The USCCB says: Details of the pope’s travel routes are still being finalized, but the general public can see the pope on Wednesday, April 16, as he departs from the White House visit with President and Mrs. Bush and travels to the Papal Nunciature on Massachusetts Avenue.
Later, the public will be able to see the pope as he travels in the popemobile to the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Michigan Avenue.
April 17, following an address to the heads U.S. Catholic colleges and universities at The Catholic University of America, the pope will travel across campus to the John Paul II Cultural Center to meet with faith leaders from several religions. Access to viewing areas on Catholic University’s campus to see the pope on April 16 and 17 are available only through tickets that the university has made available to local Church-sponsored Catholic organizations.
