Fulton John Sheen (born Peter John Sheen, May 8, 1895 – December 9, 1979) was an American archbishop of the Roman Catholic Church known for his preaching and especially his work on radio and television. In the 1950s, his television show called "Life Is Worth Living" made him a household name.

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was a master communicator with an unforgettable voice and ability to communicate the message of Christianity to all peoples. He was a Catholic priest with a tremendous knowledge of Catholic Theology, as well as all Christian denominations and world religions.

For Catholics, Bishop Sheen is a saint of modern times. His cause for canonization for sainthood was officially opened in 2002. In June 2012, Pope Benedict XVI officially recognized a decree from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints stating that he lived a life of "heroic virtues" – a major step towards beatification, which will take place in October, 2019. Though not yet canonized, he is considered one of the most important Catholics that God has put on this earth in the 20th Century.
