Original: Blessed Sheen's baptismal church in Illinois to be part of world's first parish named for him
The Illinois church where Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was baptized will become part of the world's first parish named for the beloved American bishop and media evangelist. Church leaders announced the change as interest in Sheen's canonization cause continues among Catholics. Devotees see the designation as a tribute to one of the most influential figures in American Catholic broadcasting, who was born and raised in the Peoria, Illinois area.
Why now: Catholics are following developments in Fulton Sheen's sainthood cause and commemorations of his legacy.
