The celebration is on June 14 to honor Pope Leo XIV, according to a statement released by the archdiocese.
The public is encouraged to attend the “once-in-a-lifetime celebration of the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first pope born and raised in the Chicago area.” “Pope Leo XIV’s message of peace, unity, and the key to a meaningful life have touched hearts across the globe,” the archdiocese said. “This celebration is an extraordinary opportunity for people from the city and beyond to come together in shared pride for one of our own.”
The new pope is a fan of the White Sox, Pope Leo XIV’s brother, John Prevost, told local television station WGN that the pontiff was “always a Sox fan.” 
This 20-year-old video went viral of the pope as Father Robert Prevost attending a 2005 World Series game between the White Sox and the Houston Astros.

The Archdiocese wrote: Save the date to be part of a gathering at Rate Field on Saturday, June 14 to celebrate the election of Pope Leo XIV!We have been touched by the outpouring of good wishes from all who, like Pope Leo XIV, call Chicago home and particularly from people beyond our faith community who heard his call for peace. We hope you will join us for this festive occasion. More details will be announced in the coming week. May God bless Pope Leo XIV and may the Holy Spirit draw all of us together to pray for him now and throughout his papacy.
