Fulton Sheen's Beatification

The Diocese of Peoria has resumed its promotion of Archbishop Fulton Sheen's cause for beatification despite its dispute with the Archdiocese of New York over the final resting place of the great evangelist's remains.

In November 2010 the diocese said it was no longer in a position to continue its nine years of work on Archbishop Sheen's beatification and canonization. The Archdiocese of New York's failure to transfer Sheen's body to a cathedral tomb in his hometown of Peoria had upset the diocese and stalled plans to create a national shrine for him there.

Now Bishop Daniel R. Jenky of Peoria has announced that the Archbishop Fulton John Sheen Foundation has resumed its efforts to advance Sheen's cause.
