San Antonio Fulton Sheen Apostolate awed by beatification
Members of the San Antonio-based Fulton Sheen Apostolate attended the beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on September 24. The group participated in the Fulton Sheen Expo, where the apostolate maintained a booth at the convention center to discuss its work with pilgrims.
The apostolate uses 50 talks recorded by the archbishop in his private chapel in 1965 as a tool for evangelization. These resources include audio recordings and transcripts that feature references to Scripture and the Catechism for use in small prayer groups or parish ministries.
Executive Director Jorge Aguilar said pilgrims saw how easily the apostolate's materials could be adapted into various forms of ministry. One attendee, Julie Seguin, noted that the archbishop's teachings were bold and covered topics such as marriage, family, the priesthood, and communism.
