Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, Patron of the New Evangelization

 The Cause for Canonization


Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was known as the first Catholic "tele-evangelist", he was the first to use the "new media" to share the Catholic faith.  He wrote hundreds of books and converted many to Catholicism, including Henry Ford ll.  Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen would be the first American male to be canonized and he would be a most appropriate, inspirational and well loved patron Saint of the New Evangelization!



A Few Quotes of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen:


"You must remember to love people and use things, rather than to love things and use people.”
“If you don't behave as you believe, you will  end by believing as you behave.”
“When a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness, the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization could actually be written in terms of the level of its women."
 “An atheist is a man who has no invisible means of support.” 
“Once you have surrendered yourself, you make yourself receptive. In receiving from God, you are perfected and completed.”
 “We must go out to Pure Life, Pure Truth, Pure Love, and that is the definition of God. He is the ultimate goal of life; from Him we came, and in Him alone do we find our peace.”
~Servant of God Archbishop Fulton J, Sheen~
