Blessed Fulton Sheen Beatification

On September 24, something special is happening in the Catholic Church: Venerable Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified and become Blessed Fulton Sheen!

If you haven’t introduced your kids to Fulton Sheen yet, this is such a fun opportunity to do it.

Who was Fulton Sheen?

Fulton Sheen was using the newest technology of his time to tell people about Jesus.

He began with a weekly radio program called The Catholic Hour and later became famous for his television show Life Is Worth Living. At its height, millions of people tuned in to watch him each week.

He used the gifts he had and the tools available to him to share Jesus with the world.

And now, almost fifty years after his death, the Church is preparing to call him Blessed Fulton Sheen.

Download a Free Prayer Time with Jesus Booklet

Archbishop Fulton Sheen often preached on the importance of spending time with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament. So I made a little printable prayer booklet for kids. It can be used during the beatification Mass or could be taken to Mass or Adoration! Download it, print it double sided and then fold it into a little booklet!
