Fulton Sheen Beatification Set for St. Louis in September

Venerable Fulton Sheen's beatification is scheduled for September 24, 2026, at The Dome in Missouri, marking a significant step toward sainthood for the Illinois-raised priest and televangelist.
Renowned for his dynamic preaching, Sheen captivated audiences through media, hosting the radio program "The Catholic Hour," which reached four million listeners, and the Emmy-winning television series "Life is Worth Living," attracting 30 million viewers.
Ordained in 1919, the Illinois-raised priest was declared Venerable in 2012 by Pope Benedict XVI after heroic virtue was recognized. Pope Francis later authorized a decree in 2019 recognizing a miracle, clearing the way for beatification.
Bishop Louis Tylka announced the ceremony, calling it a "moment of immense grace" for the Catholic Church. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization, will preside at the beatification Mass representing Pope Leo XIV.
Celebratory events in Peoria will honor the legacy of the future Blessed Fulton Sheen. His ministry continues to "inspire countless people to know and love Jesus Christ more deeply," according to Bishop Tylka, who highlighted the upcoming cultural Center.
