F R E Q U E N T LY A S K E D Q U E S T I O N S
How can we get back to East Lawn from the
Cathedral?
Is there a shuttle service?
No shuttle service is planned; however, many participants will
be shuttling with friends back to East Lawn to pick up their
cars. Another option is to arrange with family or friends to park
cars at both East Lawn and the Cathedral. Light Rail
connections also work very well. Go to the Sacramento
Regional Transit website: sacrt.com. There are TWO boarding
options from the cathedral:
1. Walk four blocks to 11th and “0! Streets (walk straight
across in front of the Capitol). The station is by La Bou and
the State Archives. Board the FOLSOM or SUNRISE
bound train (“Gold Line”). Trains run every 15 minutes.

WHAT IS A MARIAN PROCESSION?
Marian devotions are external aids to interior devotion to
the Mother of God. As He hung dying on the cross, Our
Lord gave His mother to us, to be our mother. The Biblebased prayers, Hail Mary, and the Rosary of the Blessed
Virgin Mary , a meditation on the life of Christ, are the
most frequently prayed devotions to her. Another
traditional devotion is the public procession honoring her.
In many countries, the Marian procession, once common,
has all but vanished. Although Vatican II affirmed the great
value of devotion to Our Lady, after Vatican II attention to
her declined in many places for many years. It’s time to fix
this!
Gratefully, Catholics now enjoy a resurgence in
understanding her role in our salvation and response to it.
How great is this, the special love Jesus has for her — and
how remarkable that He entrusts us to her care.
If you are Catholic, we hope you are inspired by this
website and this example of how Catholics like you help
bring awareness of our Blessed Mother to the streets of
their city, where it’s greatly needed.
If you are not Catholic, we offer you this glimpse into what
our Church has taught and fostered from the time of the
Apostles.
