Pakistan bishop ‘inspired’ by Blessed Fulton Sheen crossed globe for beatification
Bishop Indrias Rehmat of Faisalabad, Pakistan, traveled to St. Louis and Peoria to attend the beatification ceremonies for Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. Following the celebrations, Bishop Rehmat concelebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving on September 25 at the Cathedral of St. Mary in Peoria and visited the tomb of the newly blessed archbishop.
Bishop Rehmat said he frequently quotes Sheen during homilies, retreats, and talks with seminarians due to the influence of his writings. He noted that Sheen was a pioneer in using radio and television to preach the Gospel, a method that inspires his own diocese to use modern social communication to spread the faith.
The bishop is currently reading Sheen's autobiography, Treasure in Clay. He said the book helped him reflect on the shared challenges of leadership and ministry. Bishop Rehmat recently marked his 34th anniversary as a priest on September 25 and his seventh anniversary as a bishop on September 13.
