Fulton Sheen Beatification Scheduled in St. Louis for Sept 24

Venerable Fulton J. Sheen is set to be beatified on Sept. 24, 2026, in St. Louis, with Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle presiding; after heroic virtue was recognized in 2012 and a miracle attributed to his intercession was approved in 2019, he will gain the title Blessed. He was renowned for his dynamic preaching on radio and television, taught at the Catholic University of America, and served as Bishop of Rochester before his death in 1979.

Missouri teacher's murder-for-hire case unmasked years after killing

In 2016, Jocelyn Peters, a pregnant St. Louis teacher, was killed in her apartment. Investigators linked the crime to a murder-for-hire plot involving her partner Cornelius Green and associate Phillip Cutler, including a makeshift potato silencer, a money package, and digital traces from phones and location data placing Cutler at Peters’ address the night of the murder. Surveillance also showed Green’s car nearby. After years of investigation, Green pled guilty in 2024 to murder and conspiracy, while Cutler was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive life terms. Peters’ family finally saw justice and sought closure.
