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.

Tickets are now on sale on June 14 event at Rate Field. Tickets can be purchased for $5 on Ticketmaster

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

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.
