NEW YORK, NY April 18, 2008 —As Pope Benedict makes his way to spend the weekend New York City, last-minute preparations are being made for his arrival. His packed schedule includes visits to St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a synagogue, a seminary and Yankee Stadium, as well as a parade up Fifth Avenue.

He's also visiting a small parish, St Joseph's on the Upper East Side. WNYC’s Richard Hake visits the last neighborhood in the New York's Catholic Archdiocese where mass is offered in German.
