Q & A: Msgr. Roger Landry on what the beatification of Fulton Sheen means for you with BXVI’s Reverent Liturgy Project priests.
Thursday, September 17, 2026 1:00 PM Pacific / 4:00 PM Eastern Join Monsignor Roger Landry and the Benedict XVI Instittue’s Reverent Liturgy Project for an intimate discussion of the life and sainthood of Archbishop Fulton Sheen. Monsignor Landry is the successor of Archbishop Sheen as National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the United States and has helped shepherd the beatification process. Archbishop Fulton Sheen, declared Venerable by Pope Benedict XVI, will be become the Blessed Archbishop Fulton Sheen on September 24 in St. Louis, MO. When Rome announced the good news, Msgr. Landry told the press, “It is profoundly moving that, in God’s providence, the first U.S.–born pope is able to advance the cause of his fellow Illinois native, the most iconic evangelizer ever produced by the American Church.” Join your brother priests to learn more about the priest that Msgr. Landry calls. “The most famous Catholic preacher in American history,” who “continues to have an enormous impact on the faith of Catholics across the country and globe.” “Sheen is already numbered among Augustine, Chrysostom, Bernard, Bossuet and Lacordaire as one of the most eloquent preachers of all time,” wrote Msgr. Landry. Join your brother priests not only to learn, to ask questions, but also to share with other priests what the soon-to-be Blessed Fulton Sheen means for you as a priest of Christ in the United States.
