Bishop Louis Tylka of Peoria presided over a Mass at the Cathedral of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Trenton to mark the anniversary of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s priestly ordination. The liturgy, held Sept. 20, took place near the tomb where the remains of the late archbishop are entombed.

Father Peter James Alindogan, pastor of St. Veronica in Howell and director of the Diocese of Trenton’s Office of Missions, served as the homilist. He stated that Archbishop Sheen knew Jesus Christ and understood that the Gospel requires believers to go outward to share God’s love. Father Alindogan described the late archbishop as a master communicator and a pioneer of Catholic media who used a blackboard and chalk to explain theology. He noted that the archbishop was invited to the occasion by Msgr. Jason A. Gray, the cathedral rector and executive director of the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation.
