Practicalities on the papal Holy Mass

Pope Francis has always paid special attention to meet the faithful personally. This will not be otherwise here in Budapest either.

Important practicalities!

Due to the lengthy event please take care of your own food and beverages! Toilets are available in each sector. Seats are not available, thus we strongly advise to bring your own small folding chair if you are in need of.

Projectors and radio broadcast

Projectors and loudspeakers ensure the smooth follow of the liturgy even from farther away points from the altar. Hungarian translation of the Holy Masses’ liturgy can be reached on the FM 96.4 frequency, and can be listened with headset both on a small radio or smartphone.
