Yesterday, American Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen (1895-1979), remembered as an influential and innovative evangelist who shared the Gospel through radio, print, and television, was formally declared Blessed before tens of thousands of Catholics.
The Mass, celebrated at The Dome at America’s Center in downtown St. Louis, was presided over by Cardinal Luis Tagle, who read an apostolic letter by Pope Leo XIV.
Blessed Fulton Sheen’s feast day will be on December 9, the anniversary of his death.
