Al Smith, known as "Al the Gas Man", is a Canadian heating-and-cooling professional who was called by God to share Archbishop Fulton Sheen's message. Through numerous books and years of Catholic evangelization, he has pursued that mission with remarkable dedication. His work is not a hobby. It is a vocation. And it is reaching a generation that never knew Sheen in life.

The event surrounding his mission features relics and devotional cards touched to Sheen's tomb, along with a gathering of Catholic clergy that underscores the scale of interest in Sheen and traditional Catholic spirituality: 1,000 priests, 800 seminarians, 200 permanent deacons, four cardinals, and 90 bishops. Sheen's influence has not faded. It has multiplied.

For LifeSiteNews, the story is not event logistics. It is the intersection of Catholic evangelization, Fulton Sheen's enduring influence, and the broader effort to defend and communicate the faith. Al Smith is carrying the legacy forward. The question is whether a new generation will receive it, and pass it on. The mission continues. And the man God called is still answering.
