Fiesta del Sol continues People’s Mass tradition
Bishop Plácido Rodríguez, bishop emeritus of Lubbock, Texas, was the main celebrant for the annual People’s Mass at Fiesta Del Sol on July 30, 2023. Fiesta del Sol is the largest Hispanic festival in the Midwest, attracting more than 1.2 million attendees each year. The Mass is a partnership between the Hispanic deacons of the Archdiocese of Chicago and the National Catholic Council for Hispanic Ministry. (Karen Callaway/Chicago Catholic)
