This Week’s Update

Dear Carolina Catholic Media Family,

 

Welcome to Mother Mary’s Month of May!  

As of today AM1270 WCGC remains on the air as Carolina Catholic Radio.  We continue negotiations with a prospective buyer for the radio station but nothing has been finalized.  

 

For those of you considering a donation please consider the following expenses:

 

Going forward we remain committed to operate our 6 digital platforms which include:

 

Our combined platforms have grown to reach over 4000 souls!  Most of our followers are in the 3 dioceses of the Carolinas.  I am always touched to see how many local Catholics open their newsletters when it’s released every Friday at 4am.  Many of the early risers are from our clergy.  Overall, I receive regular feedback of how much you all enjoy the wide variety of topical stories, calendar of events, prayers, learning and “Did You Know?” refreshers of our rich Roman Catholic Faith.    

 

If your faith has been touched by something you’ve experienced on one of the Carolina Catholic platforms, please consider a monthly donation to help us keep the lights on and continue what we started on January 31, 2019.

 

In closing, whatever God’s plan is for the future of Carolina Catholic Media, I continue to lean on this year’s Hallow Lent - Pray 40 Challenge for perseverence, perspective and acceptance... “Oh Jesus, I surrender myself to you. Take care of everything.”

 

In the peace of Christ,

 

David M. Papandrea, OFS

~~~ HAIL, HOLY QUEEN --- (The Salve Regina) ~~~

Hail, Holy Queen, Mother of Mercy, our life, our sweetness and our hope. To thee do we cry,  poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears. Turn then, most Gracious Advocate, Thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this our exile show unto us the Blessed Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus.  O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
 

Portraits of Saints

Saint Joseph

Feast days: March 19,  May 1

Patronage: The Catholic Church, unborn children, fathers, purity, immigrants, workers, against doubt and hesitation and a happy death  

 

Because Saint Joseph was the representative of our Heavenly Father on earth, because he acted as Christ's father in His life on earth, he is the divinely appointed head of the Holy Family. The Holy Family; of Saint Joseph, The Blessed Mother and the Son of God is the beginning and the model for the great Family of God, His Church here on earth. In this way, Saint Joseph is a father to all of us.

April Monthly Member Newsletter 

Every April, we are called to a new recommitment for a world where every person has the right to live without violence and fear.

In our journey towards healing and justice, it’s crucial to remember that sexual assault affects individuals from all walks of life - regardless of age, gender, race, or background. It’s a stark reminder of the challenges we face but also a call to action for each of us to play a part in creating safer environments for everyone.

This month, find a way to help survivors, educate others, and advocate for changes that will save the vulnerable. That could mean going to a workshop, talking to your friends and family, or wearing a ribbon on your lapel. What you do can make a difference and give hope.

While the Alliance works throughout every month of the year to provide resources, support, and educational efforts, April offers another appropriate time to really highlight those efforts.

Thank you for your continued support and commitment to this cause. Together, we can make a difference.

Warmest regards,

Katie Boller Gosewisch

Executive Director, AEHT
