We need to raise $10,000 to meet our immediate financial obligations through June.
To compensate for this shortfall we are reviewing all options across our 7 platforms including whether or not to keep Charlotte's 1st Catholic Radio station, AM1270 WCGC, on the air this summer.
In the meantime, we have slashed our expense budget by 66% to operate within revenue received from donations and program underwriting. This dramatic reduction has a direct impact on our ability to generate the volume of timely, local Catholic content you have become accustomed to receiving across our 7 media platforms.
We encourage you to please do what you can financially and continue to spread the word of what our apostolate has been doing the past 4+ years. Your involvement will be the difference in keeping true local Carolina Catholic content available on-air, on-line and on-demand! Thank you and God Bless!

One on One with Fr. Peter AscikIn this episode of Carolina Catholic Showcase, Elizabeth Harris, Pro-Life Correspondent, captures the mission of the Office of Family Life in the Diocese of Charlotte through its Director Fr. Peter Ascik, who also serves as Pastor of St. Mary, Help of Christians and Christ the King Catholic Mission. During the candid conversation, Elizabeth simultaneously elicits the essence of the heart of Fr. Peter and his honorable call from a very young age to affirm all human life from fertilization to natural death. The interview beckons us to approach the pro-life movement through a compassionate lens, drawing the listener closer to the merciful heart of Jesus through his Holy Mother, and how to get engaged in advocacy to authentically live the Gospel of Life. WATCH NOW
I feel inspired, educated, informed and encouraged to go out and do what I can.
Thank you, Fr. Ascik!
