Like our donors today, Venerable Fulton Sheen’s commitment to the missions sprung from a sincere passion for fulfilling the Great Commission. As National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies from 1950 to 1966, he raised more money for the spread of the Gospel than any other American Catholic. This effort includes the donation of more than $10 million of his personal earnings.
Today, The Venerable Fulton Sheen Legacy Society is comprised of individuals who, like Fulton Sheen, share a passion for the missions and our Catholic faith. You, too, can create a legacy of faith, hope, and love by joining this special family of supporters. Simply notify The Pontifical Mission Societies that you have included us, or intend to include us, in your estate planning.
Membership includes a subscription to Mission Magazine and a World Mission Rosary, designed in 1951 by Venerable Fulton Sheen with each of the five decades given a distinct color to represent a different continent. Members of the Society use the World Mission Rosary to pray for the whole world through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin with us.
