An icon of Blessed Fulton J. Sheen was introduced and enthroned to honor his biritual status and his connection to Eastern Catholic churches. The image was unveiled following the September 24 beatification Mass of the archbishop.

The icon depicts Sheen holding a piece of chalk and writing that people must become saints during troubled times on a chalkboard. To represent his affinity for both traditions, the image includes a bishop's miter from the Roman Church and an episcopal crown used by bishops of the Byzantine rite.

Bishop Robert M. Pipta of the Ruthenian Eparchy of Parma in Ohio celebrated the Divine Liturgy at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Peoria on September 26. Bishop Pipta said that Sheen continues his mission work and care through heavenly intercession. He added that the archbishop recognizes the turbulence of modern times and calls people to embrace their baptismal vocation to be holy.
