An Illinois Saint?

There are three Catholic saints born in what is now the United States. Kateri Tekakwitha was a Mohawk Indian who preceded the founding of the United States. Elizabeth Ann Seton was born in New York, but was a subject of the Queen. Katherine Drexel was born in  Philadelphia.


Now this news about Bishop Fulton Sheen:

A Vatican-appointed panel of theologians has approved a miracle attributed to the intercession of Archbishop Fulton Sheen, moving the renowned American preacher closer to beatification.

The miracle still requires formal approval from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints. If Pope Francis then authorizes the release of a decree certifying the miracle, all requirements would be fulfilled for the beatification of Archbishop Sheen.
Bishop Daniel Jenky of Peoria, Illinois, the home town of Archbishop Sheen, said that there is "no timeline" for the final Vatican approval of the miracle, or the scheduling of a beatification ceremony. The beatification would be held in Peoria, he said.
