Ceremony of Beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen
LIVE from The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. This Thursday, September 24, we invite you to unite in prayer with the universal Church for an extraordinary moment: the Beatification of Venerable Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen.
Join the Marian Fathers of Immaculate Conception around the world as we enter into prayer, community, and celebration and give thanks to God for this historic moment in the life of the Church.
10:00 a.m. ET: "Celebrate Sheen Show" (tributes, music, and rosary)
Our day begins with Celebrate Sheen, a special gathering designed to prepare our hearts for the Beatification. More than a show, this morning is an invitation to pray, reflect, rejoice, and rediscover the remarkable spiritual legacy of Archbishop Sheen. Catholic voices from across the Church will lead pilgrims through prayer, music, testimony, and reflection. The program includes Katie Prejean McGrady, Cardinal Timothy Dolan, Sr. Josephine Garrett, Matt Maher, and other guests.
1:30 p.m. ET (12:30 p.m. CT): Procession begins
3:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. CT): Mass of Beatification and Rite of Beatification
At 2:00 PM Central Time, the Church will gather for the Mass of Beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, with the procession beginning at 1:30 PM. Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will celebrate the Mass as the representative of Pope Leo XIV. Come early. Pray with us. Celebrate with us. Prepare your heart to witness history. Archbishop Sheen devoted his extraordinary gifts to bringing souls closer to Jesus Christ, with a profound love for the Eucharist and the Blessed Mother.
On September 24, we have an opportunity not only to remember his witness, but to ask that the grace of this occasion renew our own desire to proclaim Christ to the world. With gratitude to the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation.
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, pray for us.
