In 1950, Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen was appointed National Director of the Pontifical Mission Societies in the U.S. Bringing unmatched energy and creativity, he revitalized missionary outreach, raised millions for global missions, launched the World Mission Rosary, and transformed Catholic media through his leadership of Mission magazine and other innovations.
Thousands of children from 14 dioceses accross the Midwest prayed the World Mission Rosary via Zoom, fostering a spirit of global solidarity and missionary discipleship.
