Why Catholic Radio?

Our Blessed Lord has made it clear through his holy Church his desire to bring all people into loving communion with himself, the Father and the Holy Spirit. Today, the Holy Spirit exhorts each and every one of us to participate in proclaiming that message in every way possible, including through the use of modern media:

• "On all Christians rests the noble obligation of working to bring all men throughout the world to hear and accept the divine message of salvation."
  - Decree on the Apostolate of the Laity, Vatican Council II
   
• "The latest media of social communication are indispensable means for evangelization, and for enlightening the minds and hearts of men... effective support should be given to good radio and television programs, above all those that are suitable for families. Catholic programs should be promoted, in which listeners and viewers can be brought to share in the life of the Church and learn religious truths. An effort should also be made to set up Catholic stations."

What Pope John Paul II Says About Catholic Radio

"Radio offers perhaps the closest equivalent today of what Jesus was able to do with large groups through His preaching. Radio is an intimate medium which can reach people on the street, in their cars, or in their homes.

"Radio may well be the most cost-effective means of reaching large numbers of people who may lack exposure to Catholic publications - but will be willing to 'eavesdrop' on Catholic radio stations or programming."
