EWTN News In Depth: Celebration of Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s Beatification Continues in His Hometown

Description: Following the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Correspondent Mark Irons traveled to Peoria, Illinois as the celebration of Sheen’s life and witness continued in his hometown. And in El Paso, Illinois, a special Mass was celebrated by Bishop John Barres of the Diocese of Rockville Centre who was baptized by Sheen. We hear from Catholics inspired by the televangelist to bring the good news to more people. Peoria’s Bishop Louis Tylka,  head of the Fulton Sheen Foundation and promotor of his cause for canonization, reflects on the Blessed’s life and what comes next for his journey to sainthood. The first annual Sheen Awards honored Catholics evangelizing in the spirit of Blessed Fulton Sheen. Colm and Paola Flynn bring us to the red carpet to speak with Catholic influencers. Pope Leo’s recent apostolic journey to France drew huge crowds. Magdalena Wolinska-Reidi takes a look at the Holy Father’s past and upcoming international trips. As college Catholic centers report record numbers of students interested in the faith, a course on the Catholic intellectual tradition has made headlines for becoming the most popular course from Yale University’s history department. Professor Carlos Eire, the creator and teacher of the course, shares his reflection about how the faith is drawing young seekers from all backgrounds. Saint Bernadette – the young girl to whom the Blessed Virgin Mary appeared to 18 times in Lourdes, France – has long been a powerful intercessor for physical and spiritual healing. Her first class relics are now touring the United States. Roselle Reyes spoke to faithful in Washington, DC who came out to venerate the French saint.
