Cardinal Tagle encourages faithful to adopt Archbishop Sheen’s virtues as beatification nears
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 embody Sheen's missionary spirit and devotion to the Word of God.
Tagle is serving as the papal delegate for Pope Leo XIV to preside over the beatification Mass scheduled for September 24 in St. Louis. The cardinal, who serves as pro-prefect for the Holy See's Dicastery for Evangelization, visited the cathedral to venerate the relics of the late archbishop.
