With the Beatification we are months behind, please have patience.
Part of the mission of the Foundation is to introduce the life and teachings of Archbishop Sheen to a new generation. We do this through special Masses, events, conferences, and the distribution of materials that help promote the life of this great Bishop.

Request Materials
Relic Cards (Second Class Relic)
Receiving a relic is possible but the process is lengthy so PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE. The 2nd class relic is a piece of Archbishop Sheen’s vestments, this relic is attached to a holy card. To receive the relic card, send a donation (USA currency, USA checks or money orders only) to cover printing of the card, postage and cost to put the card together. The relic itself is free.
We can only send one card per request (NO EXCEPTIONS) as there is a limited amount. Please do not request for other people and send numerous requests. Mail in your request and donation to: Archbishop Sheen Foundation 419 NE Madison Ave., Peoria, IL 61603 or click the donate button and you MUST leave a message in the NOTE section that you wish to have a relic card (if you did not leave a note with the donation you will not receive a relic as we will assume it is just a donation). We deliver to all countries. Please have patience this could take months as these holy cards need to be made with care and we have many requests. All requests are filled in the order they are received.
At this time due to the vast amount of requests this is the only way you can receive a relic.
First Class Relics:
Public Purpose Only: The Vatican and official church offices only allow issue of first-class relics for use in a consecrated church altar, oratory, chapel, or dedicated public shrine.
Bishop’s Permission: You must submit a formal written request to the Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen Foundation, accompanied by a signed letter of permission and endorsement from your local diocesan bishop.
No Private Ownership: The Church strongly discourages—and generally refuses—the distribution of first-class relics to private individuals or for home/personal custody.
Proof of Suitable Placement: The requesting parish or institution must demonstrate that a secure, appropriate place (such as a visible reliquary or case) is prepared for the public veneration and safekeeping of the relic.
Strict Prohibition on Sale (Canon 1190): Relics can never be bought or sold. Any offering given when obtaining an authentic relic through official channels is strictly a nominal donation to cover the material costs of the container (theca) or shipping, not a purchase price for the sacred item itself. The Archbishop Fulton Sheen Foundation has purchased proper theca’s from Rome with the correct holes to tie the relic in place and seal it for authenticity. We ask for a minimum donation of $100 for this theca PLUS shipping or you may provide us with your FedEx number for shipping. If outside the USA please make sure you send enough to cover shipping. This is a LENGTHY process. It will take MONTHS. PLEASE HAVE PATIENCE!
