Julie,
We (RSMs) have a link you might find interesting:
http://www.sistersofmercy.org/popevisit
Also, on Saturday, April 19, at 9:15 am EDT, Institute president Sister Mary Waskowiak, RSM and Father Paul Robichaud, CSP will offer commentary on the papal Mass for priests, deacons and members of religious orders at St. Patrick’s Cathedral. They will be speaking with Carole Lehan, host of Catholic Radio Weekly, the flagship show of the Catholic Communications Campaign of the US Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB), specifically focusing on the issue of religious vocation. If you have a high-speed Internet connection, you can watch the webcast live at http://www.uspapalvisit.org
Blessings,
Sarah, RSM

Got a recommendation for another website with good papal visit info — pope2008.com which is sponsored by the National Catholic Register.
Also, Loyola Press has a great question-answer page about all things Pope Benedict XVI.
