Conclave 2013 Schedule

Courtesy http://www.ewtnnews.com/catholic-news/Vatican.php?id=7205

It's going to be on a Tuesday.  Asking St. Anthony of Padua for prayers now.

The Mass for Election of a New Pontiff will take place on Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. Beginning at 3:45 p.m., Cardinals will be transferred from the St. Martha House, the building where the Cardinals will reside during the Conclave, to the Vatican.
From there, Cardinals will process from the Pauline Chapel to the Sistine Chapel where they will pray Vespers and officially enter the Conclave at 5:00 p.m.
The first possible smoke sighting will be on Tuesday evening at around 7:00 p.m.
If the smoke is black, the Cardinals will reconvene the next morning beginning with Mass at 8:15 a.m. in the Pauline Chapel and mid-morning prayer. Voting will begin again at approximately 9:30 a.m.
There will be four votes per day, with two in the morning and two in the afternoon. Smoke is always sent up after the two morning votes – around noon – and then again after the afternoon set of votes – around 7:00 p.m..
However, if the first vote of either the morning or afternoon set results in the election of a new Pope, the smoke will be seen earlier.
Am assuming this is Italian time.
