Bishops
A Brooklyn Bond With Blessed Fulton Sheen
Blessed Fulton Sheen maintained several connections to the Diocese of Brooklyn during his 60 years of priesthood, according to The Tablet.
Sheen dedicated the outdoor grotto at Our Lady of Lourdes in New Hyde Park on August 5, 1945, while that parish was part of the Diocese of Brooklyn before joining the Diocese of Rockville Centre. He also preached Lenten sermons at Our Lady of Angels in Bay Ridge during the early 1960s and led a Lenten Mission at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs in Forest Hills in 1964.
His most frequent work with the diocese involved supporting Catholic missions. Sheen served as a board director for the Catholic Medical Mission Board from 1946 to 1976 and as the national director for the Society for the Propagation of the Faith from 1950 to 1966. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith states that Sheen raised more money for Church missions than any other American Catholic.
