Today the Church will celebrate the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen in St. Louis. A member of the Knights of Columbus, Archbishop Sheen spoke at numerous K of C events and collaborated with the Order in Catholic educational and evangelization efforts. At the 88th Supreme Convention in Houston in 1970, he challenged his brother Knights “to rebuild a morally united nation,” and five years later, in Miami Beach, Florida, he encouraged them to keep Jesus at the center of their efforts to advance the kingdom of God on earth.
As a priest, professor, bishop and media personality, Archbishop Fulton Sheen engaged the rapidly changing and often turbulent culture of his day with clarity and wit. Today, his message of faith — broadcast around the world — remains a timely and urgent witness of hope.
