Blessed Fulton J. Sheen

• Feast Day: December 9

• Born: May 8, 1895 in El Paso, Illinois

• Died: December 9, 1979 in New York City

• Patronage: Infant health, stillbirth revival, heart and cardiovascular ailments, oxygen deprivation, broadcasters, writers, converts, and Catholic media.

• Devotional History: Baptized Peter John Sheen, he adopted his mother's maiden name, Fulton. The name Fulton translates from ancient roots as "bird," while Sheen derives from the Gaelic Ó Síocháin, meaning "peaceful one." Symbolically rendered as the "Bird of Peace," his name served as a prophetic sign of his ministry. Like the dove bearing the olive branch of reconciliation or the Holy Ghost descending at Pentecost, Blessed Fulton Sheen sent his voice across the airwaves as a divine messenger. Through radio's The Catholic Hour and television's Life is Worth Living, he brought the peace of Christ to tens of millions. Afflicted with severe cardiovascular conditions in his later years, he remains a powerful intercessor for the healing of infants born without pulse or oxygen, heart health, and all seeking peace of soul.
