Three priests from the Archdiocese of Sydney attended the beatification Mass of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on September 24 in St. Louis, Missouri. The ceremony at The Dome at America’s Center was attended by an estimated 50,000 Catholics.

Fr. Noel Custodio, Fr. Roberto Keryakos, and Fr. Gerard Woo Ling were joined by Fr. Jack Green of the Diocese of Parramatta and Fr. Jason Rushton SJM, an Australian priest serving in Kazakhstan.

Fr. Keryakos, an assistant priest at St. Mary’s Cathedral, told EWTN that the pilgrimage honored a priest whose teachings helped transform his relationship with Christ in the Eucharist. He said he was introduced to Sheen while at the Seminary of the Good Shepherd in Homebush, Sydney, where seminarians practiced a daily Holy Hour, a prayer practice promoted by Sheen. Keryakos described Sheen as a charismatic storyteller who used intelligence and warmth to make profound truths accessible.
