The Holy See is expected to announce in coming weeks a date for the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the Emmy-winning American prelate known for catechetical television programs in the 1950s and 1960s. Sheen, who came within three weeks of a scheduled beatification in 2019, is expected to be formally beatified in September, according to sources close to the process. Announcement of the beatification comes after the Diocese of Rochester has resolved its six-year bankruptcy process and established a settlement fund for abuse survivors of more than $250 million.
