Area Dioceses Receive Tickets To Pope's Mass

The Archdiocese of Washington is giving 14,000 tickets to about 120 Catholic dioceses for the April Mass that will be celebrated by Pope Benedict XVI at the Nationals ballpark.

Archdiocese spokeswoman Susan Gibbs says the biggest share will go to the Diocese of Arlington, which will receive 6,000 tickets.

The Archdiocese of Baltimore will receive 2,500. Gibbs says the Archdiocese of Washington will announce Friday the ticket allocation to parishes that are part of the archdiocese.

Each parish will receive tickets based on the size of its Mass attendance and whether it has a school or significant religious education program.
