The Catholic Diocese of Peoria has announced that Bishop Fulton Sheen's beatification Mass will be on September 24 this year.

In many ways, he was kind of a modern John the Baptist—totally not even worried about what people thought about him. He knew what the truth was and he preached it very fearlessly.
Representing Pope Leo XIV, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle—the Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelization—will preside over the beatification Mass. It will be held in St. Louis, Missouri.
