ST. LOUIS (OSV News) – Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen – the 20th-century American theologian, evangelizer, Catholic communications pioneer, teacher and preacher – is now Blessed Fulton Sheen.

Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, a pro-prefect for the Holy See's Dicastery for Evangelization, pronounced the Church's declaration on Archbishop Sheen's life and witness at a Sept. 24 Mass celebrated in the Dome at America's Center in St. Louis.

The location had been selected by Archbishop Sheen's home Diocese of Peoria, Illinois, to accommodate the thousands of pilgrims on hand for the beatification and its surrounding events. Around 50,000 people were in attendance, according to organizers.
