Early May Field Trip - Vatican, Again - Day Ten and Eleven

We will attend the Papal Mass today.

(from website)

All Liturgical Celebrations conducted by the pope (Papal Masses) require a ticket. It's free and easy to request them.

For tickets to most Papal Masses, you may request tickets up to a few days prior to the event. Papal Massses are held fairly regularly, and may be held in various churches around Rome, not just Saint Peters.

For example, the Pope may visit one of the other Patriarchal Basilicas in Rome, Santa Maria Maggiore (Saint Mary Major), San Giovanni in Laterano (Saint John in Lateran), or San Paolo Fuori le Mura (Saint Pauls Outside the Walls.)

To see a schedule of upcoming Papal Masses (and also to request tickets), visit the website of the Prefecture of the Papal Household.

The rest of the day is open.

Again, we offer lunch and a gelato break, otherwise lunch is the responsibility of members.

Lunch - CERULLI PIZZA

Gelato - FATAMORGANA

We take an overnight flight back to Atlanta, arriving early Monday, and take a charter bus ride to Augusta.
