Famed radio and TV priest Fulton Sheen to be beatified in St. Louis, a step away from sainthood
PUBLISHED Sep 24, 2026, 11:25 AM ET
Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, a renowned twentieth century media pioneer and Emmy Award winning broadcaster, is scheduled for beatification during a historic Mass at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Recognized for his heroic virtues by Pope Benedict XVI in 2012 and a Vatican approved miracle in 2019, the ceremony grants him the title of Blessed. This milestone represents the final step required before potential canonization as a saint within the Roman Catholic Church. Organizers anticipate thousands of pilgrims, clergy, and observers will attend the regional event to honor his extensive legacy in religious broadcasting and evangelism. Sheen reached millions of weekly viewers through his television program Life Is Worth Living and his radio broadcasts during the nineteen fifties. The formal designation underscores his lasting influence on modern religious communication and American Catholic history.
