The Catholic Spirit Radio Network
Supports
Traditional Catholic Teaching
We strive to reflect this in our programming. Using Mother Angelica's example, we will not air programming that does not follow the long held orthodox teachings of the Church.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: How is Catholic Radio different from other religious stations?
A: Catholic Radio focuses solely on Catholic teachings endorsed by the Church. Unlike other stations which may feature
diverse denominations and music, Catholic Spirit Radio's programming mainly consists of
talk shows and prayer opportunities. We invite all listeners, regardless of their faith,
to explore the beauty, truth, and goodness of Catholicism.
Q: Do the stations operate 24/7?
A: Yes, the Catholic Spirit Radio Network broadcasts continuously around the clock. Our programs educate, entertain, and inspire.
We can be accessed on our FM radio frequencies, our website, and our app.
Q: How is the Catholic Spirit Radio Network connected to EWTN (Eternal World Television Network)?
A: When Mother Angelica built EWTN, she generously allowed radio stations to carry much of the same programming. Jon Hall (Spirit's founder) felt compelled by Mother's invitation to build Catholic radio and so Catholic Spirit Radio became an EWTN affiliate in 2011 when it began broadcasting. While the majority of the programs come from EWTN, Jon has chosen additional programs to enhance the programming further. Those programs come from the following radio networks: Ave Maria, Virgin Most Powerful , Guadalupe, and The Station of the Cross . Additionally, 5 local programs are produced and included in the schedule. The full schedule is available on our website.
