Fulton Sheen to be beatified in St. Louis

Beatification is the final step before canonization (sainthood). They picked the Dome at America’s Center because Sheen’s home of Peoria, IL doesn’t have a place big enough to accommodate the expected crowd.

Peoria not being big enough for the crowd is honestly kinda wild dude must’ve impacted way more people than most realize. St. Louis traffic that day is gonna be absolute hell though lol.

Sheen had his own TV show in the 1950’s, a rare thing for a Catholic bishop.

Very cool! Exciting for StL and Peoria, and Catholics touched by his message.
