Franciscan Father Andrew Apostoli will lead a presentation
that focuses on the legacy of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen 7:30
p.m. on Feb. 12 at St. Joseph Conference and Evangelization
Center in Alhambra.
As the postulator of the Cause for Beatification, Father
Apostoli --- ordained a priest by Archbishop Sheen in 1967
--- is also a founding member of the Franciscan Friars of
the Renewal and has been dedicated to evangelization and conducting
youth weekend retreats as well as working with the materially
poor and destitute.
In
December 1999, New York Cardinal John O'Connor authorized
the private investigation into the life of Archbishop Sheen.
In August 2002, Peoria Bishop Daniel Jenky formally opened
the cause for Bishop Sheen's canonization. The Vatican formally
approved the opening later in October.
St. Joseph Center is located at 507 N. Granada Ave. For
more information, call (626) 289-0223.
