While just a young priest in the Bronx, Father Hilary Franco called the residence of Bishop Fulton Sheen to ask if he could meet him. The next day, +Sheen offered him a job, and the rest, as they say, is history. Msgr. Hilary Franco's illustrious career began in the shadow of the great Fulton J. Sheen, and on what would be his 131's birthday, Msgr. Franco shares stories of what it was like to work beside a living saint.
