The Church beatifies Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen on Sept. 24, 2026, a saint from Illinois during the pontificate of the first pope from Illinois. A media star, erudite author of many books, and longtime national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, a Pontifical Mission Society, Archbishop Fulton Sheen left a rich treasure trove of teaching on the Catholic faith in the modern world. Marian Press author Maria V. Gallagher mined that treasure trove for her new book offering Sheen’s wisdom and perspective on how to live joyfully in this luminous, sorrowful, and glorious world.
