The faithful from the San Diego Diocese and beyond will be able to view the colorful assembly where Pope Francis will elevate Bishop Robert McElroy and 19 others to the College of Cardinals at the Vatican on Aug. 27. The assembly, called a consistory, will be livestreamed, as will be the first Mass he celebrates the following day as a cardinal.
Two days later, Pope Francis will celebrate Mass with the entire College of Cardinals, also live-streamed.
There are two additional events in Rome related to his elevation to cardinal.
