Itinerary for Pilgrimage to Papal Mass in New York City – Sunday April 20
The Archdiocese of New York has requested that all attendees arrive at Yankee Stadium by 9:00am.
This requires an early start for pilgrims from Boston and a late return. Thankfully Monday April 21 will be a holiday and/or part of April vacation week for many pilgrims.
