Catholic Radio
The moment for Catholic radio in the United States seems to have finally arrived.
We have gone from seven Catholic stations only five years (1998) ago to 72 as of
July 2003. The Catholic Radio Association, a lay apostolate that helps other lay
apostolates establish stations in their home cities, expects there will be over 100
Catholic radio stations by the end of 2003. This fact speaks volumes about the timing
for Catholic radio.
The Holy Father has encouraged all Catholics to make strong use of the media in their
evangelization of the Catholic faith. In addition, the Holy Father in one of his public
addresses to the Catholic Media Association stated that:
“Radio may well be the most cost effective means of
reaching large numbers of people who may not want to read or may lack exposure to
Catholic publications, but will be willing to ‘eavesdrop’ on Catholic radio stations.”
(Pope John Paul II, addressing Catholic Media Association, 1997)
Eternal Truth Broadcasting is humbled to be the instrument that God is using to invite the
Galveston-Houston Catholic community to be part of this great movement in the Catholic Church.
