CHICAGO (WGN) – A celebration of the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first pope born in the United States and Chicago, will be held at Rate Field in June.

The Archdiocese of Chicago said the celebration will be held at Rate Field, the home of the Chicago White Sox, on Saturday afternoon, June 14.

The event will feature music, film, in-person testimonials and prayers. A Catholic Mass will then be held after the program.

“The Archdiocese of Chicago invites media and the public to a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of the election of Pope Leo XIV, the first pope born and raised in the Chicago area,” the archdiocese said in a release. “Pope Leo XIV’s message of peace, unity and the key to a meaningful life have touched hearts across the globe. This celebration is an extraordinary opportunity for people from the city and beyond to come together in shared pride for one of our own.”

No information on tickets and time of the event have been released.

Pope Leo XIV, born Robert Prevost, grew up in south suburban Dolton and his childhood home is now up for auction.

The pope, a White Sox fan as confirmed by his brother, was also spotted in the Rate Field stands (then U.S. Cellular Field) during Game 1 of the 2005 World Series against the Houston Astros. The “Don’t Stop Believin'” White Sox swept the Astros that year in the Fall Classic, winning their first World Series Championship since 1917.
