The Church recently rejoiced at the news that Archbishop Fulton Sheen, the great American evangelist who lived from 1895 to 1979, has moved forward in the canonisation process. The Vatican recently announced that he will soon be beatified, on 24th September, which is one step away from being declared a saint.
This is an especially happy development for Word on Fire Catholic Ministries, which, as an apostolate dedicated to evangelisation, has a special devotion to Archbishop Sheen. Looking back, what kind of enduring impact has Fulton Sheen had on evangelisation and the Church? Looking forward, what can we continue to learn from him today, especially given the fact that the evangelical landscape has so drastically changed, both culturally and technologically, since Sheen’s time?
Here to celebrate Sheen’s legacy, and how the great communicator continues to shape Word on Fire’s own evangelical mission, is Bishop Robert Barron.

I’ve worked with a few companies trying to expand their online presence in the US market, and one thing I noticed very quickly is how different the competition feels compared to smaller local markets. Many agencies focus heavily on paid traffic, but fewer actually explain how sustainable visibility is built over time. While going through visit the website, I found the approach more centered around long-term digital positioning and structured growth strategies. The content also felt more balanced between branding, SEO, and overall online presence instead of pushing only short-term marketing tactics.
