The celebration is on June 14 to honor Pope Leo XIV, according to a statement released by the archdiocese. It will be a day of prayer and music.
The meeting, which will take place in Chicago's Rate Field, is described by the Archdiocese of Chicago - hosting the event - as one of faith, unity, and community spirit.
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.”
Pope Leo XIV will not be present in Chicago for the event, he has announced that he will be participating remotely from Rome, with a video message to be aired at the stadium.
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.”
