U.S.A. (Peoria, Illinois) Canonization of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen


December 21, 2019

Mass will take place at 10 a.m. on Dec. 21 in the Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception in Peoria:

This is the same Cathedral where Sheen was ordained a priest 100 years ago on September 20, 1919. It seems entirely fitting that the Beatification will take place at the end of this 100-year anniversary of his ordination to the priesthood. The Cathedral is also the current resting place for Sheen, who is entombed in a marble vault next to the altar where he was ordained.
