Re: Lottery for Papal Mass Tickets

Bishop Soto is being given 100 tickets for the Papal Mass on September 23rd where Pope Francis will canonize Blessed Junipero Serra. This will be an outdoor Mass at the Basilica of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C. at 4:15pm.

Distribution of the tickets will be as follows:

1. St. Francis High School, St. Francis Parish in Sacramento, St. Francis Parish in Burney and St. Clare Parish in Roseville will each receive 10 tickets.

2. The other 60 tickets will be given out through a lottery in sets of two. Each name drawn will receive two tickets. It is important to note that tickets are ONLY entrance to the Mass. The costs and booking of airfare and hotel are up to each individual.

The lottery will work as follows:

1. Any parishioner interested should turn their name with contact information into their pastor.

2. Pastor or his delegate will submit names to Joann Horta by fax (916) 733-0215 or email jhorta@scd.org. Pastors choosing to have a delegate submit names are to directly notify Joann of the name of their delegate.

3. Deadline for names to be submitted is 5pm Monday, August 17th.

4. The lottery will be held on Tuesday, August 18th.

We apologize for the quick turn around on this. We just received confirmation of these tickets
