Bonnie Engstrom shares story of son James Fulton

Bonnie Engstrom shared the story of her son, James Fulton Engstrom, whose medical recovery led to the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen this September.

Engstrom explained that her third son was born at home during a planned birth with medical care present. During the delivery, a knot in the umbilical cord tightened and cut off the infant's oxygen supply, resulting in a stillborn birth. Engstrom recalled calling 911 and watching a midwife perform chest compressions on the child while she called upon the name of Fulton Sheen.

The Vatican and Pope Francis approved the miracle attributed to the intercession of Archbishop Sheen in 2019. This recognition paved the way for the archbishop's beatification.
