Catholic radio comes to Effingham

Catholic radio launched yesterday in Effingham:

Effingham Catholic radio WGMR [Gabriel - Michael - Raphael] 91.3 FM is on the air! Broadcasting 24/7 within a 30 mile radius of Effingham. Providentially, WGMR was able to begin broadcasting today, on the Feast of the Archangels - Saints Gabriel, Michael, Raphael. Covenant Network is running a pledge drive this week but will return to regular programming this weekend. If you have friends and family in WGMR's listening area, please let them know the good word!

Catholic radio coming to Effingham!

I received the following very good and exciting news today:

We've recently received a license to operate a 24/7 Catholic radio station in
Effingham on bandwidth FM 91.3.

As you may know, a few years ago some local Catholics came together to form Brindisi Consortium, an Effingham-based 501 (c) 3 charitable organization dedicated to Catholic evangelization and apologetics.

We're very happy about the prospect of being able to provide quality Catholic programming - devotional, catechetical, history, culture, news, and apologetics to our Catholic community.

It's going to be all Catholic, all the time on 91.3! We are assured that Catholic radio bears good fruit in the communities that have it - conversions, people being strengthened in the Faith, people being brought to the Faith.

No word yet on a launch date, but I'll keep you posted. If you would like to contribute toward this worthy cause, please contact me via e-mail and I'll put in contact with the proper people.

Help Catholic radio in Effingham

We are fortunate to have Catholic radio in Effingham, though only for a couple of hours on Sunday mornings (naturally I cannot listen then).

I'm hopeful that we might one day be able to expand Catholic radio. It would be wonderful if we could have Catholic Answers Live broadcast in the Effingham area.
