For those in the New York area this weekend, here are two events to put on the calendar:
1. Friday: Papal Candlelight Vigil , 9:00 pm – 12:00 am, 5th Ave at 72nd Street.
The Archdiocese will provide 1000 candles for the faithful outside the Pope’s window. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pokes his head out to say hello.
2. Saturday: Popemobile Procession , 1:15 pm, 5th Avenue from 54th – 72nd Street.
Join 50,000+ to welcome the Holy Father to New York.
