50,000 pilgrims expected for Fulton J. Sheen beatification

Approximately 50,000 pilgrims are expected to gather at the Dome at America's Center in St. Louis on September 24 for the beatification Mass of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen. This event follows Vatican recognition of a miracle. Beatification officially recognizes Sheen as Blessed, marking a key step toward Catholic sainthood. This gathering represents the largest event at the Dome since the NFL’s Rams played there, as the city readies for the significant Roman Catholic Church ceremony.
