Tickets for the Mass of Beatification of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, as well as events taking place before and after the historic celebration, will be available on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, at 10 a.m. CDT. Tickets will be available through the Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation at celebratesheen.com.
The Mass of Beatification will take place on September 24, 2026, at 2 p.m. at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis, Missouri, marking a historic moment for the Catholic Church in the United States and throughout the world. The Dome will open early that day for the Sacrament of Reconciliation, Adoration, and a preBeatification program with Catholic speakers and musicians.
In addition to the Beatification Mass itself, pilgrims will have the opportunity to participate in a rich series of prayerful, educational, and celebratory events from September 15–26, 2026. These include Masses of Thanksgiving, visits to Archbishop Fulton Sheen’s tomb, and the inaugural Sheen Awards Gala, all in Peoria, Illinois.
Together, these events form the official Sheen Pilgrimage, a unique opportunity to walk in the footsteps of one of the Church’s greatest evangelizers while honoring his life, legacy, and missionary witness. I encourage you to make a pilgrimage to both Peoria and St. Louis to fully experience this historic and grace-filled moment in the life of the Church. Due to the historic significance of the event and anticipated attendance from across the country and around the world, advance ticket registration will be required for the Mass of Beatification and select events.
