  • I had never heard of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen until I found Spirit Catholic Radio. Sheen's echoes of The Scripture are a reminder that God's word will always remain relevant.

  • Back in time

    Listening to Bishop Sheen now in 2023 takes me back to 1953 when watching Bishop Sheen on his Life is Worth Living show via TV.

    HIS talks are relevant now as they were then. I wasn’t a confirmed Catholic then as I am now however I was Catholic in my heart.
