  • Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle declares Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen blessed

    Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle declared Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen blessed during a beatification Mass on Sept. 24 at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis. Tagle, acting as a papal delegate and pro-prefect for the Holy See’s Dicastery for Evangelization, pronounced the Church's declaration regarding Sheen's holiness and witness to Jesus Christ. Organizers estimated that 50,000 pilgrims attended the Mass. The Diocese of Peoria selected the large arena to accommodate the crowds. During a press conference held before the Mass, Bishop Louis Tylka of Peoria stated that pilgrims represented nearly every U.S. state and several other nations, including Brazil, Italy, and Poland. The Mass included approximately 90 bishops, 1,000 priests, 250 deacons, and 1,600 religious men and women. Clergy wore vestments embroidered with JMJ, the signature dedication to Jesus, Mary, and Joseph used by Archbishop Sheen.

  • On Miscarriage: Your faith spoke for this child

    A parish will light an extra candle for miscarried children during its Memorial Mass in November. Father Rob Waller noted that the candle honors these children and their mothers, who often experience the loss in silence without a funeral or a burial place. The loss of a pregnancy can cause trauma and guilt for both mothers and fathers. Father Waller observed that parents may feel they did not do enough during the emergency or may regret their actions after the event. While words cannot remove the pain of miscarriage, Father Waller suggested that faith and time can help lessen the suffering.
