The pope greets the people, often in several languages, says the Angelus and gives a papal blessing. In general this takes about 15 minutes, though it can be longer at Christmas and Easter.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>PAPAL AUDIENCE<\/strong> \u2013 If the Pope is in Rome, the audience is held every Wednesday morning, come rain or shine. If the weather is good, it is in St. Peter&#8217;s Square, otherwise it is in the Paul VI Audience Hall to the left of the Basilica.\u00a0 The audience consists of readings and teachings, mostly in Italian, but the language will vary depending on the crowd.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>GETTING TICKETS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Check the date of the audience which are generally announced 3 months in advance:<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.vatican.va\/various\/prefettura\/index_en.html\">http:\/\/www.vatican.va\/various\/prefettura\/index_en.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Tickets are required for this event, but they are always free \u2013 in fact, you never have to pay to see the Pope. For Americans, the easiest way to get tickets is to email the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pnac.org\/\">Pontifical North American College<\/a> at: <a href=\"mailto:visitorsoffice@pnac.org\">visitorsoffice@pnac.org<\/a>. They will let you know if your request has been confirmed or not, and send you details about picking up your tickets on Tuesday afternoon near the Trevi Fountain.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">Alternatively, if you want to pre-book tickets, you can contact the Prefecture of the Papal Household with your request. Fill out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/images\/Vatican_Ticket_request.pdf\">request form<\/a> and fax it to +39 06 6988 5863. Tickets can then be picked up from the Swiss Guards at the Bronze Door on the right of St. Peter&#8217;s Basilica, after security (click <a href=\"file:\/\/\/C:\/Users\/Claire%20Wood\/Downloads\/St.%20Peter's%20Ticket%20Collection%20Point.jpg\">here<\/a> for more details). Tickets are available on Tuesdays between 3pm and 6pm in winter and 3pm and 7pm in summer, and on Wednesday morning between 7am and 10am. Sometimes, it is possible to get tickets without ordering them from the same place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>ON THE DAY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">The audience starts at 9.30 in summer and 10.30 in the winter months, but you should arrive a couple of hours before that if you want a good seat (there are no assigned places), as everyone wants to be close to the front near the Pope.\u00a0 Aim for a seat in front of a walkway, as the audience begins and ends with the Pope moving through the crowd on the &#8216;popemobile&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">In the summer, you will be very exposed to the sun, so be sure to bring water and a hat as there is little shade in the square.\u00a0 Even in the summer, dress should be modest, with shoulders and knees covered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\"><strong>PAPAL MASSES &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>You need tickets to attend a papal mass as well, and the process of requesting and collecting them is the same as for the audience: fax the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vaticantour.com\/images\/Vatican_Ticket_request.pdf\">request form<\/a> to the Prefecture of the Papal Household and if you are granted tickets, collect them from the Swiss Guard 3 days before the service.<\/p>\n<p class=\"western\" align=\"JUSTIFY\">NB: For audiences and masses you will need to go through a security check point, so it&#8217;s advisable not to bring large bags and to ensure you do not have any sharp metal objects with you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to find out how to see the Pope while you&#8217;re in Rome?
