The Story of Fulton Sheen's Path to Sainthood w/ Msgr Jason Gray from the Fulton Sheen Foundation
Description
In this episode of After Mass, I sit down with Monsignor Jason Gray, Executive Director of the Fulton Sheen Foundation, to talk about Archbishop Fulton Sheen's upcoming beatification on September 24th, 2026.
We cover the incredible story of the approved miracle, a baby born with no heartbeat for 61 minutes who survived without brain damage, and how the investigation process actually works. Monsignor Gray also shares why the cause faced major delays, what virtue stood out most in Sheen's life, and what comes next on the road to canonization.
