The event, themed “Pilgrims of Hope,” featured prayer, breakout sessions, Confession, and Mass with Cardinal Timothy Dolan. Teens and youth ministers shared how the day deepened their faith, built friendships, and inspired them to live as bold witnesses to Christ.

On this week’s episode of All Good Things with Archbishop Hicks, Archbishop Ronald Hicks and Monsignor Jim Vlaun talk about the Beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, Blessed Sheen himself, and his relic arriving at St. Patrick’s Cathedral on Tuesday, Oct. 1.
