More than 1,200 people are preparing to fully join the Catholic Church in the @BrooklynDiocese at the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday. And ahead of Easter, 12 of those people at the Church of St. Martin of Tours took part in The "Rite of the Third Scrutiny" during a Mass celebrated by @bishopofbklyn. Connected to Scripture, the rite's purpose is to help the those entering the Church seek spiritual restoration through Jesus, reports @Bill_MillerST. bit.ly/40V1PDh

A chance encounter with Archbishop Fulton Sheen decades ago sparked a lifelong passion for Father Frank Mann, a retired priest of the @BrooklynDiocese. He's spent years collecting rare artifacts tied to the famed televangelist — from signed portraits to personal letters. Father Mann offered senior reporter @Bill_MillerST and @JessEasthopeTV of @CurrentsNews a close-up look at his collection. bit.ly/4rPVKDj

"My soul doth glory in your love, oh Lord." March 25 marks the Feast of the Annunciation of the Lord. The feast day focuses on the Incarnation: God has become one of us, the son of Mary. @bishopofbklyn celebrated Mass during the @BrooklynDiocese's Lenten Pilgrimage stop at St. Helen Church in Queens, during which students from St. Helen Catholic Academy sang hymns like "Mary's Song.

It's been a long time coming: Archbishop Fulton Sheen is being beatified this fall. The Tablet and @CurrentsNews are showing you through what it's taken to get there — from prime time TV to the Diocese of Peoria. bit.ly/3NXSg3C

You don’t have to go across the world to be a missionary. That was the message young Catholics took home after a visit to the @MaryknollFrsBrs Society Center — that living the Gospel can start right in your own neighborhood. For many, the day wasn’t just about learning — it was about connection, community, and seeing how faith can actually be lived every day. bit.ly/4rRUYFU

Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen will be beatified on Sept. 24 in St. Louis, the Vatican announced. The long-awaited ceremony comes nearly six years after his beatification was postponed just weeks before it was set to take place. Remembered as one of the most influential Catholic voices of the 20th century, Sheen reached millions through radio, television, and print — earning the nickname “God’s microphone.” bit.ly/4uM93Y9

As a child in Ghana, Father Cletus Forson walked miles each day just to find water. Today, that experience fuels a mission to bring clean water and critical aid to communities across Africa. Through the nonprofit International Help of Missionaries, wells, schools, clinics, and now a pediatric cancer hospital are becoming realities — with help from parishioners at Sacred Hearts & St. Stephen, who’ve made the project their Lenten service, @PaulaKatinas reports. bit.ly/41nk5p2

“Everybody kind of has that little bit of hope that their sign will get particularly noticed, their Chicago White Sox ball cap will get particularly noticed... either they’re from Chicago, or they’re from another part of the United States where someone in his family lived, or they know someone who knew him." 🇺🇸 An American pope means more Americans visiting the Eternal City, and the Bishops’ Office for U.S. Visitors to the Vatican is helping them get there. bit.ly/4sZlm1k

These Catholics are taking Lent beyond the church walls. Parishioners from Our Lady of Grace Church in Queens are bringing prayer to the streets — gathering in public places to pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet and meet people right where they are. bit.ly/485OoUW

140 years, one man's artistic vision — Basílica de la Sagrada Família in Barcelona is finally nearing completion, @Bill_MillerST writes. And the architect who designed it, Antoni Gaudí, will soon be a saint. bit.ly/47d89cX

“She is fully human... she’s experiencing human stress and emotions, and yet she makes a decision to trust God. We can say Mary is like a Bible walking in the street. Or, we can say a Quran walking. Whether in the Bible or in the Quaran, people of both faiths can learn about the life of Mary, mother of Jesus. @Bill_MillerST was there as @bishopofbklyn joined faith leaders at JFK Airport in Queens for iftar dinner, where they shared a meal — and commonalities. bit.ly/4rTS1EF

A vandal hit St. Rita Church in Long Island City — it's the third time in two years that the Queens Church has been targeted, reporters @PaulaKatinas. They spray painted a statue of St. Francis of Assisi, completely covering the face, and wrote the word “pagan” on the sidewalk on the morning of March 21. thetablet.org/vandals-spray-…

Young adults are leading the way back to church. New research shows nearly 65% of Catholics ages 18–29 attend Mass at least monthly — and at Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church, that trend is coming to life with packed pews, social media invites, and a growing sense of community, @Jessica_Meditz reports. bit.ly/4lHHjiV
