Christina's story is on "Mary's Healing Touch" on Catholic Radio International

You can listen to me tell the story of how, after receiving the news of my mother's terminal cancer diagnosis last spring, Mary heard the prayers of my little saint with Down syndrome.
For the next four months, she helped us with her healing touch, to usher Mom into her waiting arms.

For Catholics, an On-Air Mix of Sacred and Silly

cross-post from A Catholic View


I sometimes listen to "The Catholic Guy", and I enjoy it.
Check out the article...they have some good audio clips.


Mike from El Paso was on the phone line to “The Catholic Guy,” the afternoon drive-time talk program produced via the unlikely partnership of Sirius Satellite Radio (familiar to most people as “Howard Stern’s network”) and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York.

“I called the other day?” said Mike. “About how much I miss confession?” This would be the Mike who was barred from the sacrament of confession under church law because he married a divorced woman whose first marriage was never annulled.

“Yes, I remember!” bellowed the host, Lino Rulli, the Catholic guy of the show’s title. “Mike the Adulterer! O.K., Mike. Are you ready to play ‘Let’s Make a Catholic Deal’?”

Radio Revew: Immaculate Heart Radio

Cross-Post from The World...IMHO

Excellent news for Bay Area Catholics!

KSFB-AM 1260 signed on Dec. 10 as Immaculate Heart Radio in the San Francisco Bay Area, the newest outlet in a prospering Catholic radio network and possibly the largest single Catholic radio station in the country.

KSFB, formerly KOIT, is the group's 20th station in a network founded 11 years ago in Reno by Doug Sherman.

“I’m excited and grateful that our 20th station is located in San Francisco,” Sherman said in a press release. “We look forward to sending the Word of the Lord over the airways in order to reach as many souls as possible.”


In a Dec. 12 letter to Sherman, San Francisco’s Archbishop George Niederauer congratulated him and colleagues for getting the station onto the air after “a long, challenging struggle.”

“I wish you many blessings and graces as you embark on this new service,” wrote the archbishop, who heads the U.S. bishops’ Communications Committee and is a member of the Pontifical Council on Social Communications.

Both Archbishop Niederauer and Oakland’s Bishop Allen Vigneron endorse the mission of the radio outlet on an IHR promotional DVD.

“This project would not have succeeded without the hard work and support of many people, but there would be no station if it were not for the work of Mike Lambert and Father Andrew Johnson,” Sherman told Catholic San Francisco.


A retired stockbroker, Lambert said he has been involved with Immaculate Heart Radio since its beginnings and has helped Sherman with development of the current San Francisco-based operation. Father Johnson is a retired attorney and investment banker ordained in 2004 for the Archdiocese of San Francisco. Both Lambert and the priest are Knights of Malta.

“You must know how emotional the cut-over was,” Lambert said in a conversation with Catholic San Francisco. “After six years of going down blind alleys, it seemed this would never happen. All the years of trying were very good for us. The Holy Spirit guided us around those hazards. When that signal cut-over we were jumping up and down and hooting and hollering.”

More than a dozen persons attended the Dec. 10 event marking the transition from KOIT to KSFB, Lambert said, including Bill McInerney and Dennis Kelly, attorneys who worked on the project; Mark Bromley and Eva Muntean of Ignatius Press; George Keisel and Charlotte Keisel, both long time supporters of Catholic radio.

I checked out the website and it appears to be a faithful Catholic station.
They have much of the same programming as EWTN radio.
You can see their program schedule and you can listen online on their site below.

Podcast Review: Vatican Insider

My favorite Catholic podcast is Joan Lewis' 'Vatican Insider'.

As I mentioned in my EWTN Radio review, Joan is EWTN's Rome bureau chief. In addition to calling into Teresa Tomeo's show on Wednesdays, Joan has her own radio show which is on Saturdays.
It is a half-hour show, but she seems to fit alot into it.
She starts out with a news update, she has a question-and-answer segment where she answers email questions, and she has an interview segment where she interviews someone. It is a very informative show/podcast.

I usually don't get to listen to it on Saturdays, so I download the MP3 weekly, and listen when I can.

Here is Joan's blog.

Here is EWTN's podcast page where you can get Vatican Insider, as well as MP3's of many of EWTN's programs,

Radio Review: EWTN Radio

Because I work on a computer all day, I listen to EWTN radio a good portion of the day. I would like to highlight a few of my favorite shows.
I listen to it streaming online. If you prefer to listen over the air, you can click the button link above and you can find a list of AM/FM stations that carry EWTN radio programming.

I like 'Catholic Connection' with Teresa Tomeo (9:00 AM ET) Teresa discusses current issues and news from a Catholic perspective. She very often discusses some of the same news stories I blog about on my blog The World...IMHO. My favorite days to listen are Wednesday and Friday.
On Wednesday, she talks to Joan Lewis, EWTN'S Rome correspondent.
Also on Wednesday, she talks to Fr. Frank Pavone of Priests for Life (one of my pro-life heros!). On Friday, she talks to Janet Morana of Priests for Life and Silent No More Awareness.
Another of my favorite shows is 'Open Line'(3:00 PM ET). There is a different host each day. My favorite days are Monday (Apologetics with John Martinoni), Wednesday(Fr. Mitch Pacwa) and Thursday(Patrick Madrid).

Possibly my favorite EWTN radio show is Catholic Answers (daily Mon-Fri, 6:00 PM ET) Jerry Usher is the host, and on occasion you can hear Jimmy Akin as a guest host.

All of the above shows are good Catholic shows; they all contain authentic, true Catholic teachings.
