Bishop Fulton Sheen has been recognized as ‘Blessed,’ allowing his veneration to spread in the Catholic Church. Pope Leo set his feast day on December 9, marking his death and entry into eternal life. The faithful can now publicly venerate him within the Diocese of Peoria, with Masses celebrated in his honor. For veneration to be officially recognized in other dioceses, requests must be made to the Dicastery for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. In Peoria, a new parish named Blessed Fulton Sheen Parish was established, uniting two existing parishes on his feast day. More: National Catholic Register
