Currently Funded through Easter Sunday March 31, 2024
 
 

With the beginning of Lent upon us we are in tremendous need of monthly tithing to help keep Charlotte’s first Catholic Radio Station AM1270 WCGC on the air through the Lent and Easter seasons. 

We continue to cut our 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


On January 31, CAROLINA CATHOLIC MEDIA celebrated 5 years 
evangelizing the TRUTH of JESUS CHRIST
across the Carolinas!

North Carolina faithful are invited to participate in a Lent mission led by three Sisters of Life from across the country – Sisters Catherine Joy Marie from Denver, Monica Faustina from Washington, D.C., and Joseph Mary Nazareth from New York City.

The first three days of their visit will be at locations within the Diocese of Charlotte – Belmont Abbey College Feb. 15 and St. Thomas Aquinas Parish in Charlotte Feb. 16-17 before they travel to Greenville Feb. 18.

“We will be speaking about the dignity and goodness of every human person in different ways depending on the audience,” said Sister Catherine Joy Marie, who serves at the Sisters of Life evangelization center in Denver.
