As you read the Church Bulletin and Online, you have probably noticed brief articles called “Fish Tales”. They have been a part of the Bulletin and Online for a number of years and written by members of the Evangelization Committee. The central theme is Evangelization. Sometimes they are informational; sometimes they are inspirational and often, they give us ideas on how we all can joyfully pass on our beautiful Catholic faith by evangelizing.
The next several weeks, we will focus on Fulton Sheen, a wonderful Catholic Evangelizer. He was one of the first TV Catholic Evangelizers, known to 30 million viewers with his program called, “Life is Worth Living”. His first TV broadcast was on Easter Sunday, 3-24-1940. Prior to his TV show, he had a weekly radio show. He won an Emmy award for being named the “Most Outstanding Personality” and appeared on the cover of Time Magazine.
He was bold, enthusiastic, innovative and inspirational…a true evangelizer. In the coming weeks, we will learn more about his background and many of his inspirational quotes will be shared – still so meaningful in the world today.
Next week, some of Bishop Sheen’s thoughts on “motherhood” will be shared.
