Pope Leo XIV called on Catholics to promote and protect human dignity at his Sept. 9 general audience.

He noted that our human dignity does not depend on wealth, abilities, or status. Rather, it is a gift from God as an expression of His unfailing love for us.

“Created in God’s image, through Christ and for His sake, we have received a unique and indelible dignity. Let us commit ourselves to promoting and defending it always, with the light and strength of the Gospel,” he said.

Dolores Sheen, niece-in-law of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, said Sheen cherished time spent with his family.

When friends and family heard Archbishop Sheen was coming to town, they would ask Dolores when they could see him. “I would call him and say, ‘Bishop, what do you want to do?’ And he’d say, ‘I want to be with family,’” she said.

Around the Hamilton Heights neighborhood, and frankly, just about anywhere on the northside of St. Louis, Msgr. Robert Gettinger (aka Father Bob) is a household name.

Father Bob's Outreach provides ongoing utility and funeral assistance at St. Augustine’s rectory in St. Louis, distributing about $8,000 each week from private donations. Those seeking assistance are offered spiritual support and a space to share their stories.

The program has continued after Father Bob's retirement. Father Jeff Harrison, SJ, meets one-on-one with visitors and offers pastoral care. Volunteers keep everything running smoothly, and Father Bob remains involved as chair of the outreach.

“Father Bob realized a long time ago there’s way too much in one place and not enough in another,” Father Harrison said. “His whole ministry’s been trying to straighten that out a little bit. So what we’re doing is not charity. This is justice.”

Dolores Sheen got to know Fulton Sheen away from the cameras.

She first met Archbishop Sheen when picking him up at the airport for a visit. Dolores married Archbishop Sheen’s nephew, John, who passed away in 2007. Now, she serves as a board member of the Archbishop Sheen Foundation.

With family, he was “just down to earth and just very real, never coming across as a celebrity at all," Dolores said.

Dolores continues to pray each day for Archbishop Sheen’s canonization and asks his intercession for her family.

Fulton Sheen’s witness of faith will be recognized worldwide on Sept. 24 as he is beatified at a Mass at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis.

On November 3, voters will get the opportunity to restore pro-life values to the Missouri Constitution. If passed, Amendment 3 would substantially limit the number of abortions performed in our state.

As Bishop Louis Tylka began visiting parishes and talking with priests and laypeople around his new diocese of Peoria in 2020, Fulton Sheen and his canonization cause came up again and again.

“I quickly realized that I needed to come to understand the fullness of the life of Fulton Sheen," said Bishop Tylka, "so I started to learn about him, started to read and to come to appreciate how significant his life and his witness of faith means for the Church and for the United States and for the world."

Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be beatified in St. Louis on Sept. 24.

The deepest, most effective response to the disorders of the world is exemplified by Jesus.

He didn’t resign Himself to the sinful state of the world, nor did He come in a destructive rage.

He entered the situation. He prayed. He worked. He let the sins of the world crash upon Himself, bearing the weight in His own body.

That’s how He brought about our redemption. And He asked us to pick up our cross and follow Him.

The Gospel passage for this weekend attends to a particular problem: gossiping. We talk about each other behind our backs so habitually that most of us don’t even know we’re doing it.

Why do we have time to talk about the lives of others when we could more fruitfully spend our time living out the Gospel?

Let our hearts be softened so that we can hear and act on the voice of God that speaks to us continuously.

“Literally no matter where I go in the world, if I say I’m from the Diocese of Peoria, it leads to a conversation about Fulton Sheen,” said Bishop Louis Tylka.

Becoming a bishop wasn't the only change Bishop Tylka had to adjust to in 2020, as his new appointment made him the bishop of a diocese with a cause for a saint.

“I quickly realized that I needed to come to understand the fullness of the life of Fulton Sheen, so I started to learn about him, started to read and to come to appreciate how significant his life and his witness of faith means for the Church and for the United States and for the world,” Bishop Tylka said.

Missouri Amendment 3 is a meaningful attempt to “swing the pendulum” back by limiting abortions and supporting health and safety standards that protect both mother and child, a St. Louis OB/GYN said.

Dr. Karen Voegtle said the amendment, which will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot, is about restoring basic protections that already exist elsewhere in medicine.

She acknowledged that the proposed amendment will not outlaw abortion altogether in Missouri, but described it as a step in the right direction by restoring essential safeguards for women as patients.

If approved by voters, Amendment 3 would repeal the 2024 Amendment 3, limit abortions in most cases, and restore some safeguards for women's health.

Missouri’s bishops are calling on the faithful to pray, fast and vote in support of Amendment 3 this November.
