Rosemarie Holliger Costello, a cousin of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, recalled how the archbishop maintained a daily Holy Hour during family visits.

According to Costello, family members always expected the archbishop to set aside time for this prayer during his visits. She noted that asking when the bishop would have his Holy Hour was a routine question, much like asking when the family would eat dinner.
