Stational events for Lent
Does anyone know where I can find the list of 2008 papal appearances during Lent? I both wish to participate AND to avoid some! You know how it is. Oh - and I have the regular stational list - it's papal appearances I'm interested in.
Under the Liturgical Year link, the Holy See site doesn't have 2008 posted yet!
Oh - don't try to make fancy html links in the comments - you'll just get moved to the spam file.

Come on, it's Italy ... 2008? You might get some information from the U.S. Bishops' Pilgrims' Office at the Casa Santa Maria. Go to the Pontifical North American College website. You can email the Visitors' office for information about Papal events.

They won't be posted until much nearer the actual events. You'll want to keep an eye on this page: http://www.vatican.va/news_services/liturgy/documents/sub-index_en.htm#Celebrations
You can be pretty sure that the Pope will be celebrating the first Lenten station on Ash Wednesday, with a procession from S.Anselmo to S.Sabina and the Ash Wedenesday Mass at the latter. He normally doesn't do any of the other stations - they're left to other prelates. His Holy Week timetable doesn't really change from year to year.
Apart from that, you'll just have to wait until the MC makes public the Pope's calendar in the weeks coming up to Lent.
