The Watson family gathers following the beatification Mass for Fulton J. Sheen in St. Louis. The family shared a close friendship with Sheen, who baptized each of the Watson children. Their mother converted to Catholicism through Sheen and later married Barrie Watson, a physician. Over the years, the family received numerous items from Sheen that they later donated to the museum in Peoria. Back row, from left: Luke, Paul, Mark, Peter, John and Matthew Watson.
