Papal Calendar for August 2010

Never, never, never pay for tickets to Papal events!

Papal Audiences are ALWAYS FREE! — It doesn’t matter if they are in Saint Peter’s Square, in Paul VI Hall, at Castel Gandolfo or anywhere in the world, they are always free.

Papal Masses are ALWAYS FREE! — It doesn’t matter if they are in the Vatican, in Rome or anywhere in the world, they are always free.

The noon Angelus is ALWAYS FREE!

There are many websites and even “official guides” who will try and charge you for tickets, sometimes up to $50 per person. If you want tickets to a Papal event, request them directly from the Pope.
