Archbishop Fulton Sheen, whose television program Life Is Worth Living brought reflections on morality, philosophy, and the meaning of human life into homes across America, is set to become the first American-born bishop beatified by the Catholic Church. The September 24 ceremony in St. Louis will celebrate Sheen's legacy and the miracle attributed to his intercession that helped lead to his beatification. EWTN News Correspondent Paola Flynn reports from Peoria, Illinois.
