The Mass at Madison Square Garden ~ Once in a Lifetime Experience!

 
Sisters Marilyn Pray, Lorraine Julien and Donna Del Santo traveled to NYC to see the Pope. After catching a bus at 4am, traveling 8 hours and then a three hour wait to get into Madison Square Garden the travelers finally made it inside the venue. 
 
 
As seen in the previous blog post titled "Sisters and Friends' Pilgrimage to NYC," they would wait a few more hours before seeing the Pope.   Entertainment from singers like Gloria Estefan and Jennifer Hudson kept the crowd energized as they waited for the 6pm Mass to begin.

 An awesome, once in a lifetime experience! 
 
Ok..now to get something to eat on Broadway & Times Square!
 
For dinner the Sisters met up with some of their traveling companions - 4 Nazareth College Students and Nazareth College Chaplain Jamie Fazio.  After dinner it was to the bus station and back to Rochester. Estimated arrival 5am on Saturday - a whirlwind trip!
