The cause for sainthood for Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the sixth Bishop of Rochester (1966–1969), began in 2002. Declared Venerable in 2012 after recognition of his heroic virtue, and with a Vatican-approved miracle attributed to his intercession, the cause for his canonization as a saint continues with his beatification. His enduring legacy of evangelization and holiness continues to inspire Catholics around the world. Find resources for celebrating the Beatification by clicking on Catechist Resources below.
