Calling All Rosary Makers: 75,000 Sets of Prayer Beads Needed for Fulton Sheen Beatification| National Catholic Register
June 28, 2026
Before the beatification Mass for Fulton Sheen begins on Sept. 24, everyone attending the morning program at The Dome at America’s Center in St. Louis will receive a free “World Missions Rosary” — designed by Bishop Sheen himself. Thousands of faithful will then pray a Rosary with this rosary.
That prayerful moment will harken back to 1951, when Sheen introduced this distinctive, multicolored, eye-catching rosary to remind the faithful to pray to Our Lady, Queen of Apostles, for the success of the Church’s missionary efforts around the world.
“Seventy-five years ago this year, Fulton J. Sheen, in his second year as the national director of The Pontifical Mission Societies, started to ask, ‘How can I get people praying for the missions?’ He knew Americans’ great love for Our Lady, Queen of the Apostles, and their great love for the Holy Rosary,” today’s national director, Msgr. Roger Landry, told the Register.
