Listen Later

1/14/26 - We’ll tell the remarkable story of Venerable Fulton J. Sheen, tracing his journey from a brilliant Midwestern seminarian to one of the most recognizable Catholic voices of the 20th century, and now a man on the brink of beatification. We look at Sheen’s years as a professor and preacher, his groundbreaking radio work on The Catholic Hour, and his Emmy-winning television program Life Is Worth Living, which drew millions of viewers each week with nothing more than a chalkboard, sharp wit, and unapologetic Catholic truth. We’ll also explore his deep interior life, including his lifelong commitment to daily Eucharistic Holy Hours, his service as a bishop and auxiliary to Cardinal Spellman, and the suffering he endured in fidelity to the Church. Finally, we’ll look at the key moments in his cause for sainthood, including the recognized miracle attributed to his intercession and the recent news renewing anticipation for his long-awaited beatification, explaining why Catholics around the world continually turn to Fulton Sheen today as a model of courage, clarity, and joyful evangelization in confusing times.
