Venerable Fulton Sheen
America needs a saint, an American saint...
one...
who was born in this great land, who showed in crisis how an American Catholic can relive the life of Christ crucified.
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen
Retreat to Priests · Washington · 1974
DISCOVER the Depth of Sheen
This IS More than a conference.
this is a movement.
Long before his cause was opened, Sheen prophesied that America needs a saint — an American saint. More than a saint who lived in America, Fulton Sheen was a saint formed by America—an Illinois farm boy who became a bishop, pioneering evangelist, and true Catholic American patriot, embodying the very saint he believed God was calling America to produce.
He is our saint. To show us the way.
How are we going to live in these troubled times? There is really only one answer: We have to become saints.
Venerable Fulton J. Sheen · A Treasured Love Story · 1973
This is not a generic Catholic conference. It is a gathering of those who championed Sheen when his cause was buried, those who have suffered for the same convictions Sheen suffered for, those who are committed to rebuilding America and the Church the way Sheen did, and those desiring to become Sheen-like leaders
— who pray like Sheen, think like Sheen, and love like Sheen.
Think like Sheen. Pray like Sheen.
Love like Sheen.
I.
THINK
The Mind of Sheen.
Discover the wisdom and common sense of Fulton Sheen - one of the greatest Catholic minds of the modern age.
II.
PRAY
The Hour of Sheen.
Learn the secret of Sheen's spiritual power: the daily Holy Hour and a life rooted in intimacy with Christ.
III.
Love
The Cross of Sheen.
Encounter what was hidden behind the cameras - the sanctity, generosity, and dedication to saving souls.

Highlights include:
• Private prayer and a Holy Hour at the tomb of Fulton Sheen, and a tour of the Sheen Museum and Peoria Cathedral, where he was ordained in 1919
• A visit to El Paso, Illinois — Sheen’s birthplace
• A Byzantine liturgical experience with Fr. Thomas Loya’s community, honoring both lungs of Sheen’s priesthood, East and West
• Sacred sites in St. Louis: Our Lady of the Snows, the Gateway Arch, the Old Cathedral, and the Cathedral Basilica
• Reserved pilgrim seating at the America’s Saint Conference (September 23) and at the Beatification Mass at The Dome (September 24)
• A special Beatification-evening dinner and talk with guest Chris Stefanick and Dr. Howard
• Daily Mass and Holy Hours, first-class hotels, group motorcoach, select meals, and site admissions throughout
Space is limited to 100 pilgrims. Land-only package from $2,950 per pilgrim (double occupancy). Learn more and register at https://fultonsheenmovement.com/pilgrimage-register-page
