The Office for the Liturgical Celebrations of the Supreme Pontiff released a note on Thursday saying the Pope will preside over the celebration of the Liturgy of the Hours and an Ordinary Public Consistory in the Vatican’s Clementine Hall on July 1 which will set the dates of the Canonization of John Henry Cardinal Newman and 4 other Blesseds.
Fulton Sheen’s remains have been move to Peoria, Illinois
Fulton Sheen’s remains have been transferred from the crypts of Saint Patrick’s in New York to Peoria in Illinois, reopening his cause for canonization.
In 2002, the cause for canonization of Archbishop Sheen was opened by the Diocese of Peoria after the Archdiocese of New York stated they would not explore a cause. In 2014, Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria suspended the cause for beatification on grounds that the Holy See would expect Sheen’s remains to be in Peoria.
On June 27th, Bishop Jenky announced that Sheen’s remains had been transferred from Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in NYC to Peoria in Illinois.
