For those in the New York area this weekend, here are two events to put on the calendar:
1. Friday: Papal Candlelight Vigil , 9:00 pm - 12:00 am, 5th Ave at 72nd Street.
The Archdiocese will provide 1000 candles for the faithful outside the Pope’s window. I wouldn’t be surprised if he pokes his head out to say hello.
2. Saturday: Popemobile Procession , 1:15 pm, 5th Avenue from 54th - 72nd Street.
Join 50,000+ to welcome the Holy Father to New York.
While I have you, can I ask you something? I’ll be quick.
Twenty-five thousand people subscribe to First Things. Why can’t that be fifty thousand? Three million people read First Things online like you are right now. Why can’t that be four million?
Let’s stop saying “can’t.” Because it can. And your year-end gift of just $50, $100, or even $250 or more will make it possible.
How much would you give to introduce just one new person to First Things? What about ten people, or even a hundred? That’s the power of your charitable support.
