What is Quick Pass?
The “Quick Pass” is our system designed to organize groups and allow safe entry into the Fieldhouse for the Main Sessions. This year’s youth wristband colors are Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green.  Each color will have the opportunity to enter first; this will allow each color a chance to get their favorite seats.

When are Quick Pass tickets available?
Approximately one hour prior to doors opening as posted in your schedule (specific times also in your schedule), student workers in black shirts will be standing at the Bell Tower, to the left of the main entrance to Finnegan Fieldhouse, handing out tickets. Only a chaperone can acquire a ticket. 

How does it work?
Once the chaperone acquires a “Quick Pass Ticket,” you and your group are expected to arrive at the side doors of the Finnegan Fieldhouse to line up no later than 15 minutes prior to the entry time of your color.  See the schedule dedicated to your wristband color for specific entry times. 

Your entire group must be present at the time of entry. Anyone who is not present when your group enters the Fieldhouse will be asked to wait until a designated time.  

Some Rules to Remember:
PLEASE READ for our convenience and yours!

• Quick Pass does not allow entry before the doors officially open.
• Tickets are handed out on a first-come, first-served basis.
• Only a chaperone can acquire a Quick Pass Ticket.
• Lines and entry will ALL take place at the side doors of the Fieldhouse.
• A chaperone must present the ticket to a student worker at the time of line up.
• Teens will not be permitted to enter the Fieldhouse without a chaperone, whether they have a ticket or not. Please stay in line with your teens.
• Teens cannot enter or exit the Fieldhouse without a chaperone.
• If some of your teens are not present at the time of entry to the Fieldhouse, they will not be allowed to enter until all other groups with Quick Pass Tickets of the same color have entered (please have everyone in line at the designated time).
• Please remember to be safe and polite while waiting in line and entering the Fieldhouse.

The Portiuncula
Located behind Christ the King Chapel.

“Rebuild My Church”
When St. Francis heard those words from the mouth of the Lord, speaking through the San Damiano crucifix in a small, dilapidated church, he took them to mean simply rebuilding that and other church structures like it. That first tiny Portiuncula, a holy place and the center of St. Francis’ activity, is recreated here on Franciscan’s campus as a grace-filled haven for quiet meditation and Eucharistic adoration.

Additional Use of the Portiuncula
The Portiuncula is mainly reserved for quiet prayer and adoration. Any vocal prayer is not encouraged in the Portiuncula itself. However, sites outside of the main chapel such as the Marian grotto, Tomb of the Unborn Child, créche, and hillside stations of the Cross are available for vocal prayer.

Flash Photography
To preserve the peace and calm that the Portiuncula provides those who wish to pray without distraction, flash photography and video recording are not permitted. If you are required to record for news purposes, public relations, or class projects, the Office of Chapel Ministry must approve in advance.
