Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle told Catholics in Peoria, Illinois, that the upcoming beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen brings both a grace and a responsibility to the local community. During a Mass on September 22 at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, where Sheen's remains are entombed, Tagle suggested that the faithful should embrace Sheen's missionary spirit and devotion to the Word of God.

Serving as the papal delegate for Pope Leo XIV, Tagle is scheduled to preside over the beatification Mass for Sheen on September 24 in St. Louis. Tagle currently serves as the pro-prefect for the Holy See’s Dicastery for Evangelization, leading the section for the first evangelization and new particular churches.
