Pilgrims from the Archdiocese of Boston cheer Pope Benedict as he passes in the popemobile down New York’s 5th Avenue after celebrating Mass at St. Patrick’s Cathedral April 19. Some in the group ? which included parishioners from Lowell, Marlborough, Framingham, Revere, and East Boston ? waited as long as seven hours to catch a glimpse of the Holy Father as he passed.
