Chicago Prepares for Celebration Honoring Pope Leo XIV | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Only a handful of tickets remain for Saturday’s celebration in Chicago honoring native son Pope Leo XIV. The Day of Prayer and Music will take place at Guaranteed Rate Field, home of the Chicago White Sox. The event will feature a Mass and a special video message from the Holy Father. Earlier today, a photo surfaced of Pope Leo wearing a Chicago White Sox hat, taken soon after his election during a meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Pat McCaskey, Vice President of the Chicago Bears and Chairman of Sports Faith International, shares how the city is preparing for the Mass in honor of Pope Leo, the spirit surrounding the event, and his thoughts on the unique harmony between the Catholic faith and sports. In his work with the Catholic Speakers Organization, Pat delivers a talk called "Tears and Laughter," which spans from the Garden of Eden to the possibility of the Pope celebrating Mass for the Bears. Now, with Pope Leo XIV, he reflects on whether such a Mass might become a reality. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
