A conference celebrating the life and legacy of the soon-to-be Blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen will take place in St Louis, Missouri, on the eve of his beatification, the Fulton Sheen Movement announced in a press release earlier this month.
America's Saint: The Catholic Hour Is Now will be held on September 23, 2026, bringing together participants to consider what it means to “think like Sheen, pray like Sheen, suffer like Sheen and lead like Sheen”, the organisers said.
“This conference will rally the voices of American Catholics who championed Sheen when his cause was buried, those who suffered for his same convictions, and those committed to rebuilding America and the Church the way Sheen did, particularly during this patriotic semiquincentennial moment in the United States,” said Dr Peter Howard, founder and president of the Fulton Sheen Institute and the Fulton Sheen Movement.
