Fox6: Abp. Listecki celebrates Masses at ethnic festivals all summer long

One man in Milwaukee is getting more stage time at the Marcus Amphitheater than Brittney Spears, Katy Perry and Kid Rock combined. He's Milwaukee Archbishop Jerome Listecki.

More than 5,000 people came to the Marcus Amphitheater Sunday morning to listen to Archbishop Listecki on the last day of German Fest. The Archbishop has already said Mass at Festa Italiana and plans to say it at Irish Fest and Mexican Fiesta.

"I want to support the various ethnic groups that make up Milwaukee. I also want them to take pride in their cultural achievement," said Listecki.

Archbishop Listecki's next outdoor Mass will be at Irish Fest. It's scheduled for 9:30 a.m. on Sunday, August 21st at the Marcus Amphitheater.
