Get Ready for the Beatification- FOUR brand new Teaching with Fulton Sheen Curriculums!

I've been teaching alongside Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen in my classroom for well over a decade. Along with sharing biographical info about him with my students, I also have taught my religion curriculum through the lens of his life, using his quotes, videos, books, and ideas to teach topics like Eucharistic Adoration, Marian devotion, the Sacraments, and our universal call to holiness.

I encourage to share the life of Fulton Sheen with your children! I posted the first edition of the Teaching with Fulton Sheen curriculum back in 2013. It's had several updates since then. I'm excited to share with your the latest version which is greatly expanded and refined. This is the tool you need to help you prepare for his Beatification on September 24, 2026 and continue to learn from BLESSED Fulton Sheen in the years to come!

Teaching with Fulton Sheen Curriculum
Click below for the 2026 edition of the free Teaching Fulton Sheen Curriculum. This expanded update breaks the lessons into four books, based on age. I encourage you to look at all of them and pick activities that fit the needs of your children/class/program. These activities have all been updated and many of them have not yet been shared individually on the website- there are so many new resources included! They include biographical activities about Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen, the canonization process, as well as things that he taught like Eucharistic Adoration, Marian devotion, Spiritual Adoption, and much more!
