Tag: Blessed Fulton Sheen

Just days after the official portrait of Blessed Fulton J. Sheen was unveiled at the Mass of his beatification 24 September, another image – an icon – was introduced and enthroned as a witness to the archbishop's biritual status and affinity for the people of the Eastern Catholic churches.

St Mary Catholic Church in El Paso, Illinois, will become part of the first parish in the world named for Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, Bishop Louis Tylka of Peoria announced 26 September following a Mass of Thanksgiving at the parish where Blessed Sheen was baptised.
