There will be a Solemn Pontifical Mass (extraordinary form) for the 5th Anniversary of the Inauguration of Pope Benedict XVI at 1 PM this Saturday, April 24th, at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC celebrated by Darius Cardinal Castrillon. For more information about the Mass, clink on this link: WDTPRS.
UPDATE: We understand that the Cardinal will NOT be celebrating this mass, and that the organizers of the visit are attempting to find another bishop to celebrate this mass.

A cheaper way:
There are still seats available from 33rd and 7th in NYC to 10th and H in DC on Bolt bus ($17.50-19.00)

Then, from 10th and H in DC, enter the Grand Hyatt hotel (There's a Starbucks inside if you need a snack) across the street and follow the signs to take the metro (underneath the hotel) toward Silver Spring or Glenmont on the Red Line. But, you'll want to get off at Brookland/CUA. It's a 15 minute ride and costs about $1.65.
Dear attendee of the historic traditional Latin Mass at the National Shrine,
Given the various reports in the media, I wanted to make sure you saw the press release below from The Paulus Institute, the sponsor of the Mass on this coming Saturday.
The Mass WILL proceed as planned, with its impressive selections of chant and polyphony, and full solemnity. However, Cardinal Castrillon Hoyos will no longer be offering the Mass. Those of you traveling great distances can continue making your plans for your pilgrimage.
