As we continue our journey this Lent please prayerfully consider a monthly tithe to help keep
Charlotte’s first Catholic Radio Station AM1270 WCGC on the air through the Lenten and Easter seasons. 


We continue to cut monthly expenses to meet the level of annual donations and monthly pledges which will allow us to pay our creditors and continue operating the radio station on a bare bone budget. 

Please pray for the success of this ongoing campaign to keep our Digital and Radio Evangelization efforts alive.
 
Aside from the radio station, we continue to move forward developing our 6 other media platforms to deliver strong 3-Diocese (3-D) coverage of timely news that Carolina Catholics can use! 

These platforms include:
 
Carolina Catholic Weekly eNewsletter

Carolina Catholic Mobile App

Carolina Catholic YouTube Channel

Facebook/I-Gram/X-Twitter/LinkedIn Social Media

CarolinaCatholic.org website

Internet Streaming/Podcast & Video Library
 

 
2024 Pledge Goal: $5000 per month / $60,000 annual

Rosary Rally This Weekend 
Sat/Sun. Feb. 24/25


Praised be Jesus Christ and Ave Maria!  

This a a group e-mail sent under BCC.  I need to give all of you
Soldiers for Christ the important following information in regards to our
Rosary and protest against Paranormal Cirque at Concord Mills Mall.  
Please pass this on with anyone you may have communicated this event to.

1.  We will be praying at the corner of Thunder Road and Concord Mills boulevard. This is the only place there is public sidewalk on that side of Concord Mills boulevard. We cannot be anywhere on the mall property or standing on the street that encircles the mall that is all private property. There is a Visionworks and a Burger King at that corner that we will be at so that can hopefully give you a visual of where we will be located. You will have to find parking on your own. There are some businesses right by that sidewalk I plan on going in and giving one of them my business and leaving my car at their lot if that will be okay.  Also I would park on that side of the boulevard so you do not have to ever cross a big busy road. You will have to use your own judgment on where you park.  Whoever is planning on coming please let me know if you can if you're coming on Saturday or Sunday. At this time we only have a couple of people signed up.

2.  I will have a banner that is provided by America Needs Fatima that says 'Satanism is part of the problem not part of the solution".  If you're able to make your own sign that would be helpful because this banner does not really mention at all the Paranormal circus going on. We need the people that drive by to connect all the dots. So anybody that can make a sign that says paranormal circus is evil not funny. Or anything along that line would help. We need the people to understand we are out there because of the Paranormal circus. We will not be super close probably to the tent area where they are coming in at all but some of the people may certainly have to drive in that entrance that is off of Thunder Road to enter the mall property.  This is a very visible location where we will pray regardless for people driving by.  It is a very busy road I do not recommend children being at this event.  

3.  The prayers we will be praying are the prayers in the Rosary Rally manual.  
Open with Immaculate Mary
Angelus
Holy Rosary
Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Litany of Saint Michael the Archangel
Prayer of Total Consecration by Saint Maximilian Kolbe
The Divine Praises
Close with O Sanctissima


4.  On Saturday night they have two shows one that starts at 6:30 p.m. and I believe the other is at 9:30 p.m. feel free to come and stay only as long as you can. If anyone is up to it we can take a break and grab something to eat nearby and then go back out and try to be out there for the people coming in for the later show and then leave by 10:00 p.m. feel free to do what you want but it would be nice to be able to be visible to some of the people coming to the later show too if we can. On Sunday there is only one show at 5:30. Our arrival times are a half hour prior as you can see. That way we can already be praying as people come in to the shows. Any question you can email me or text or call me at 704-301-2531.  

See you out there to pray.... Viva Cristo Rey!
