With great thanks and praise to almighty God as we want to announce that the nation's capitol will soon be the home of another Guadalupe Radio Network station. On May 5th WMET 1160 AM will begin broadcasting Catholic Radio 24 hours a day. And what an amazing impact this station will have in bringing souls closer to our Lord and the holy Saints, an impact that has the potential to reach far beyond the immediate listening area.
WMET is a powerful 50,000 watt AM radio station which will blanket all of Washington D.C. and the surrounding area with the beautiful message of Christ's Good News through His One, Holy Catholic Church. In fact, the signal covers Washington DC and stretches on into Baltimore, Anapolis and beyond Arlington VA, along with dozens other cities across the metroplex. Over five million people will soon have the opportunity to tune into Catholic radio on the Guadalupe Radio Network.
We need your help. We'll be busy raising funds to ensure the long life of Catholic Radio in the nation's capital and preparing for the official kickoff and blessing of the studio. We are very thankful to everyone who has prayed and worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality. We will need a local staff, many volunteers and countless 'prayer warriors' over these next few months. Please download the project plan, "Into the Deep" and about how you can help be a part of this incredible moment in the history of our nation's capital and the local Catholic Church.
Evangelizing heathens once again!
This is really wonderful. I am going to put them on my prayer list, for effective programming, and beautiful music.
Does anybody know if there’s a radio station that plays Gregorian chant on a regular schedule? I would love to be able to turn it on when I do my lectio divina, most especially at night.
Can you get something off the EWTN website? Even if they aren’t running chant on the radio at the time you want to listen, they might have some available for streaming in the archives. Other sites might be available for “chant on demand,” too.
I should try playing it at home more often - might get the byos to stop shrieking so much! I have some CDs.
Good idea. My grandchildren, when they were babies, loved hearing it in the car, on trips. Sure made things more peaceful.
We had to turn on just the backseat speakers, though, otherwise the driver would get sleepy!
That is a problem. I get history lectures on CD, and a presenter with a snoozy voice can have me drifting over the center line!
