Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will preside over the beatification Mass for Fulton J. Sheen this Thursday, September 24, at the Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis. The ceremony follows a Vatican finding that Sheen lived a life of heroic virtue and that his intercession resulted in a miracle.

Sheen, a former auxiliary bishop of New York known for his television program Life Is Worth Living, is now one miracle away from being declared a saint. The Diocese of Peoria, where Sheen was ordained, will livestream the event on its YouTube channel, and EWTN will broadcast the Mass.
