The World Needs Saints

The world has heard the reasons and explanations...

“The only argument the world will listen to now is the argument of personal holiness.”

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

This retreat is your invitation to become that irrefutable witness of love and truth the world is hungering for… and it's where you will find your way to happiness as well.

Why This Retreat

We live in an age of noise, distraction, and exhaustion.

Many people know about the faith, but few are living by it.

Fulton Sheen warned that the crisis of modern humanity is not primarily intellectual. It is spiritual. The world is not simply waiting for better explanations. It is waiting for to see holiness realized in true devotion and charity.

This retreat is designed to form you into a witness the world cannot ignore.

What You Will Experience

In this retreat Dr. Peter Howard offers a powerful and fresh encounter with Venerable Fulton J. Sheen as the man, the priest victim, the master teacher, mesmerizing orator, and prophetic voice uniquely suited for our times.

Through engaging multimedia presentations and guided formation, you will enter deeply into the life, spirituality, and mission of one of the greatest Catholic voices of the modern world.

Over five days you will step away from the noise and enter an environment ordered toward prayer and purpose.

You will be formed in Sheen wisdom:
•

The life and times that shaped Fulton Sheen

The secret behind his power to win souls

Why Sheen is a prophet for our age

The woman he loved and served so passionately

Sheen's foundations for renewing America

Daily Holy Hour

Lectio Divina

The Sheen Mission Rosary

Peace of soul

This is not passive inspiration.

This is Sheen-like formation.

Why Fulton Sheen Spirituality

Few modern figures understood the human soul like Fulton Sheen.

He united theological brilliance with deep contemplative prayer and apostolic zeal.

His life demonstrated a timeless truth. Holiness changes history.

This retreat draws directly from the principles Sheen taught in his own retreats and lived daily through his holy hour, Marian devotion, and sacrificial love for souls.

You are not just studying his spirituality.

You are entering into it.
