Archbishop Ronald Hicks urged pilgrims to follow the example of Blessed Fulton Sheen by embracing a commitment to evangelization and living the Gospel. He spoke during a Mass of Thanksgiving held Friday morning in Peoria, near the tomb of the newly beatified Blessed Sheen.

Archbishop Hicks, the Archbishop of New York, noted that Sheen earned his beatification because he understood the Gospel and actively preached it to the world. The Mass took place at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, where Sheen is entombed. Sheen served the Diocese of Peoria for more than 30 years following his ordination there.

The gathering in Peoria followed a beatification Mass held Thursday in St. Louis. During the service, faithful visitors traveled to the cathedral to visit Sheen's tomb.
