Maximizing Technology in Today’s World

TECHNOLOGY TIMELINE

By using today’s technology, we commit to reach every soul across the Diocese of Charlotte, NC and Upstate SC.  In addition to Radio, we have expanded our CAROLINA CATHOLIC media platforms to include Video on our website, mobile app, Facebook/Instagram/X social media and YouTube channel.  We provide access to all our platforms through our weekly eNewsletters.                                                                                            

Our streaming technology allows us to access every computer and smartphone allowing us to significantly reduce projected capital expenditures.  This overcame the biggest single broadcast objection of “I can’t hear you.”  With 90% population reach by Smartphone the broadcast signal is not an issue. With compelling content the ears and eyes will come.

Redefining our Mission & Vision 

WHERE WE GO FROM HERE…

CAROLINA CATHOLIC MEDIA offers a unique opportunity to reach the entire Local Catholic Community both registered Catholics, those in the pews on Sunday AND the vast flock of those who are not.   With 5 million people in the Charlotte Diocese and a Charlotte metro workday population increase of 20% (post pandemic) there is much room to grow with our outreach in the Vineyard of the Carolinas (3 dioceses - 15 million souls - 1.5 million Catholics). 

During these tumultuous times where the world feels upside down, may we be guided by GOD’S love, mercy and grace.  May we grow in and be strengthened by our Catholic faith to reinvigorate our hope in and our love for GOD and for one another. May we truly be Instruments of His Peace by our actions and by our words… to feed the hungry, cloth the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the stranger AND the unwanted child, care for the ill and love our enemies.

CAROLINA CATHOLIC MEDIA looks forward to continuing providing you with ONE LOCAL CATHOLIC VOICE that truly reflects the MOSAIC OF MINISTRIES created by you for all our Carolina Catholics.  From the CRIB TO THE CROSS, may we always remember the REASON FOR EVERY SEASON!  PRAISE BE JESUS CHRIST, NOW AND FOREVER!  VIVA CRISTO REY!

I look forward to hearing from you!

In the peace of Christ,

2025 Eucharistic Congress

Teachers begin to reset their classrooms at St. Ann School in Charlotte Aug. 12. Over the summer, the school went through a massive renovation to its circa-1955 building that included everything from new paint and cabinets to a new HVAC system as well as exit and fire safety enhancements. The $5.1 million renovation was just one of the summer construction projects that will make classrooms better, brighter and more appealing for returning students and staff.

Charlotte Latin Mass Community

The Charlotte Latin Mass Community, (CLMC) is a private association of the faithful as defined by Canon Law (Can. 299 §1 and Can. 215).  We are Catholic faithful in the Charlotte area who strive in a common endeavor to pass down the traditional Catholic Faith to our children and to worship through the traditional Latin Rite liturgy of the Roman Catholic Church. We subject ourselves in full docility to the authentic authority of our Bishop, His Excellency Michael Martin, and the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV; which is to protect and defend the Catholic faith and the sacred deposit of tradition. MORE

Summertime

Bishop Luis reflects on a surprising cultural difference: the end time of a dinner gathering. Coming from a Latin background where celebrations flow freely, he was puzzled by time limits on fellowship.  Joy, community, and love shouldn’t be constrained by the clock. When we’re surrounded by laughter, good food, and those we love, we get a glimpse of eternity. This summer, let’s slow down, break the schedule, and fully enter into the gift of each moment.

"What a powerful moment to be with my shepherd and share the joy of the gospel."

Bishop Jacques Fabre-Jeune, CS

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ – July 2025

Each July, we celebrate the day that our country gained its independence. We remember those who have gone before us, especially those who gave their lives in military service. As we recall from Christ’s word, “No one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends” (Jn 15:13).
