from The Catholic Morning Show · host Deacon Mark Campbell, Msgr. Roger Landry
About the Guest Msgr. Roger Landry is the National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies USA (TPMS-USA) and the current successor to Archbishop Fulton Sheen, who served as the organization's fifth national director from 1950 to 1966. The World Mission Rosary Sheen designed the multicolored World Mission Rosary in 1951 — green for Africa, blue for Oceania and the Pacific, white for Europe, red for the Americas, and yellow for Asia — as a way for American Catholics to pray for missionaries on every continent. Ahead of Sheen's beatification, the Pontifical Mission Societies are asking parishes, religious communities, and individuals nationwide to hand-make 75,000 of these rosaries so every attendee can receive and pray one together before the Mass begins. How to Help Instructions for making and shipping World Mission Rosaries — plus where to send completed rosaries by September 15 — are available at The Pontifical Mission Societies. Beatification Details Archbishop Fulton Sheen will be beatified on September 24, 2026, at The Dome at America's Center in St. Louis. Once formally beatified, his feast day will be celebrated each year on December 9, the date of his death in 1979. More details on attending or watching the beatification are available at celebratesheen.com. #FultonSheen #WorldMissionRosary #Beatification #PontificalMissionSocieties #CatholicPodcast #Rosary #ArchbishopSheen #CatholicRadio Credits: Produced, Edited, and Mixed by Ayden Pugh, Alexia Baker, and Brady Grimm.
