Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified TODAY, September 24, 2026, at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri. Our good friend Tim Murphy is there for this historic moment — and he’s bringing us along! 🙏

There’s so much to see as we get ready for Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen’s beatification!

Here, Tim gives us a look at one of Archbishop Sheen’s zucchettos, while Bishop Louis Tylka is wearing one of Sheen’s pectoral crosses. 🙏

Even the pre-show stage is a nod to Sheen’s legacy — it’s designed to look like the set of his television program! 📺

And then there’s this: Look at the sheer number of Eucharistic vessels prepared for the estimated 50,000 people expected to attend. What a beautiful witness to the Eucharist and to the faithful gathering for this historic celebration. ❤️

A “once-in-a-lifetime” opportunity to venerate relics of St. Bernadette Soubirous!

The relics – rib fragments, kneecaps and samples of muscle, hair and skin from the French saint – were at the National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes as one of the first stops on a “Journey of Grace” tour of 140 locations across the country. Also on hand were two sizable rocks from Lourdes, France. https://catholicreview.org/st-bernadettes-relics-draw-hundreds-of-pilgrims-to-emmitsburg-despite-heavy-rain/ National Shrine Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes

And another special moment for Tim: During the noon Mass, he met Father Robert Spitzer of EWTN. Father Spitzer was seated behind Tim, and the two exchanged a handshake during the sign of peace. 🙏
