A video address from Chicago native Pope Leo XIV will be played at the home park of his White Sox as part of a celebration of his ascension to the papacy.

The Archdiocese of Chicago said in a release that the celebration at Rate Field will start at 2:30 p.m. Saturday. In addition to the pope’s prerecorded message, his friends will be interviewed live and another video centered on the pope’s roots in Chicago will be shown, the archdiocese said.

Also Saturday will be a Mass celebrated at 4 p.m., overseen by Cardinal Blase Cupich, archbishop of Chicago.

The White Sox won’t be there to join in. The baseball team is on the road playing the Texas Rangers.

The doors at Rate Field will open to attendees at 12:30 p.m. The Archdiocese of Chicago said the event is sold out. Tickets initially went for $5 apiece in bundles of 10, and prices reached as high as $1,200 on the resale market, according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

“It’s an opportunity for the people of the city and the church of Chicago to celebrate the fact that a pope has been elected who was born, raised, educated to some extent here among us, here in our home,” Archdiocese of Chicago Office of Divine Worship Director Todd Williamson said in the release.

The pope is a noted White Sox fan. Fox Sports MLB posted a crowd shot on X from Game 1 of the 2005 World Series, a home game the team won on their way to a sweep of the Houston Astros and the breaking of an 88-year title drought, that shows the future pontiff.

The White Sox have installed a mural honoring the pope near Seat 2 in Section 140, where the future pope sat during the game, according to MLB.com.

Leo also donned a White Sox hat at a recent public appearance at the Vatican, according to CNN.
