CHICAGO (WGN) – America’s past time will be the backdrop to a historic gathering as 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 went on sale for the June 14 event at Rate Field and appeared to sell out Friday night on Ticketmaster.

“This is a day that many people thought we would never see here in America, and yet here we are,” Bishop Lawrence Sullivan, vicar General of the Archdiocese of Chicago, said.

The Archdiocese of Chicago said 10,000 tickets were sold in the first 15 minutes of going live. They anticipate the Mass will soon be sold out.
