Sept. 24 Beatification of Archbishop Sheen Marks Milestone for Evangelization
The Vatican announced that Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified Sept. 24 in St. Louis, with Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presiding at The Dome at America’s Center (2 p.m. CT). After a post-2019 delay, the process has been approved, with Peoria Diocese planning supporting events to mark the occasion and celebrate Sheen’s legacy as a pioneering evangelist and broadcaster.
