The Cardinal has sent personal invitation to a wide number of priests, religious, deacons, parishoners, lay members and friends of the Archdiocese to attend the Bicentennial Closing Liturgy to truly represent the Archdiocese.
- Additional parking for this Mass has been made available at Jacobson's Floral Design, 500 Albany Street, Boston, MA 02114. Please check this website again as the date draws near, since we expect to have information on other parking alternatives.
- Vicars and pastors encouraged to plan ahead In order to facilitate parking with such a large number attending, we are encouraging Vicars and pastors to organize a bus from one location bringing both priests and laity to the Cathedral for the event. It may even be possible for two Vicariates to join together.
Please consult the website - www.Boston200.org - for information on special parking spaces that will be available. Thank you. -Bicentennial Planning Committee
