Carolina Catholic sits and chats with the Very Reverend Michael Burbeck, Vicar General 

For our first show in May, we chat with our diocesan Vicar General, the Very Reverend Michael J. Burbeck, about the diocese and the 2025 Bishop's Annual Appeal (BAA). In this show, Father talks about the many unknown works done by the diocese, and he also delves into what a diocese is, the kind of work that goes on at the diocesan level, and the importance of the BAA. Father gives wonderful examples of the good work that goes on daily in our diocese including, but not limited to, weddings, Project Rachel, retreats for Faith Formation leaders, and the work of the Tribunal on the validity or nullity of a prior marriages at no cost to the petitioner. He also explains how the funds raised during the BAA stay in our diocese and how those funds are used to help us all.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of May. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.

Carolina Catholic prepares for Easter and Divine Mercy Sunday

For our second April show, we speak with authors of two children's books that help us and our children prepare for both Easter Sunday and Divine Mercy Sunday. Our first author is Anthony De Stefano on his book, From Bread and Wine to Saints Divine, a book which helps children to recognize and embrace the greatest miracle of all: the change of bread and wine into the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist. Our second guest is Susan Joy Bellavance whose newest book, The Crooked Court Jester and the Last Knight, introduces children to the powerful spiritual healing of repentance, confession, and the anointing, all gifts of the King of Mercy, Jesus Christ.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of April.

April's Teaching Moment

Many Catholics have embraced wearing the Brown Scapular of Mount Carmel, knowing Our Lady’s promise to St. Simon Stock, that “Whoever dies in this garment, will not suffer everlasting fire. It is the sign of salvation, a safeguard in dangers, a pledge of peace and of the covenant.” This sign of consecration to Mary’s Immaculate Heart keeps us under her special protection, as we learn from true stories. Venerable Francis Ypes shared that when his scapular fell off, the devil scowled at him saying, “Take off the habit which snatches so many souls from us!”  When a shepherd was struck by lightening in 19th century Italy, his entire body was charred and his clothes burned except for his scapular, and he eventually made a full recovery thanks to Our Lady’s Brown Scapular. A French priest shot in the back during Mass was saved by his Brown Scapular. So may devoutly wearing Our Lady’s Brown Scapular protect you and your family from all harm and bring you into everlasting life.
