Image is pretty huge, but I was wondering if anyone else plans on showing their gills?

I hope to.

[Walty]

I'll be there.  I'll be the one who looks least like me.

I wish I could go. I'll be in America in June though and definitely plan on having a look around the basilica at some stage during my trip.

[ResiduumRevertetur]

So should we get matching fishie lapel pins?  :laughing:  I'll be there. I hope to see some of you.  I'll have a bright blue scarf and a long colorful skirt. If you think you see me shout (I know, I know. I meant shout after Mass), I'd like to meet some more fishies. 

Oh! And I hope everyone had a very blessed Easter!

Looks there must be a little addendum to the flyer, as Cardinal Hoyos has been ousted as the celebrant.

WASHINGTON (CNS) -- The group organizing the first pontifical solemn high Mass at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington in 45 years said April 22 that Bishop Edward J. Slattery of Tulsa, Okla., would be the main celebrant.

Hey!  They found someone.  Awesome.

Yeah, I was afraid after waiting for something as cool as this, it would be shut down over something like this.

Can't be there unfortunately. But I explored the shrine when I visited Walty. The place is giant, bigger than you'd expect (no matter what your expectations are). Will be watching the mass on online streaming Saturday.
