Weekly Reflection

A Historic Milestone

09-20-2026 | Fr. Abraham Orapankal, Pastor

Dear OLP Family,

As the 20th century’s most influential Catholic communicator, Archbishop Fulton Sheen has been a household name for us Americans. His beatification, scheduled for September 24, 2026 is a historic milestone that we are happy to celebrate. This Thursday’s ceremony at the Dome at America's Center in St. Louis, Missouri, will formally elevate him to the rank of "Blessed," marking the final major step before potential canonization.
