Papal Mass in Singapore offers 40,000 tickets in online ballot

Pope Francis is scheduled to lead a Mass in Singapore this September, with 40,000 tickets available through an online registration process.

By LiCAS News Registration began on June 24 for individuals and will open on July 1 for groups, closing on July 31, according to Catholic News, the official online news service of the Archdiocese of Singapore. Lawrence Chan, head of the ticketing subcommittee, explained that group registration allows attendees from different parishes to apply together and, if successful, to sit together at the Mass. Up to six members can form a group. The Church is encouraging Catholics to invite people new to the faith, including newly baptized members and non-Catholics participating in the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA), to attend the Mass.

The ballot results will be announced in August via the myCatholicSG portal. Special arrangements have been made for ticket allocation,
