LIKE THE ANGEL GABRIEL

 

Today, the the solemnity of the Annunciation, it is announced that the beatification of VENERABLE FULTON SHEEN will take place Sept. 24 in St. Louis. This day was chosen for the announcement  as the Archbishop  spent his life continuing the work of the Archangel Gabriel.

Due to the great number of people wanting to participate, St. Louis was chosen due to the close proximity to the Diocese of Peoria, where Archbishop Sheen was born, ordained, and first served as a priest. This city has an arena  (The Dome at America’s Center), large enough to hold the many who will come for  the celebration.

On March 6, 2014, the board of medical experts who advise the Congregation for the Causes of Saints unanimously approved a miracle of  Archbishop Sheen’s, in which a stillborn baby survived due to his intercession.
