El Paso-born Sheen (1895-1979) was arguably America’s first televangelist, remembered as host of TV’s “Life is Worth Living,” broadcast from 1952-57, after many years of preaching on radio.

Beatification is the final step before canonization, at which point Sheen would become St. Fulton J. Sheen.

Only a handful of Americans have been beatified on U.S. soil. Sheen will be beatified Sept. 24 at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri.
