Welcome to the website for the voice of Catholicism on the airwaves in southeastern North Carolina.  You're at the right place if you want to learn about or listen to truly Catholic shows like Catholic Answers Live,  the Drew Mariani Show, and many, many more including our own Carolina Catholic show. 

Wilmington Catholic Radio can be heard on our three affiliate stations in the greater Wilmington area. 

Carolina Catholic talks to Father Brian Lynch, a priest in the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis

For our first show in March, we chat with Father Brian Lynch, an associate pastor at Transfiguration Church in Oakdale, MN whose homily on the "anniversary" of Roe v. Wade on January 22, 2021 has become viral on the Internet. In this show, Father Lynch details his journey from being a scientist with 3M to the priesthood and what led him to give such an impassioned homily in defense of the faith and the unborn on the 48th "anniversary" of legalized abortion in America.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington on the first two weekends of March, Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. 

Carolina Catholic talks to Rachel Smith, a local parishioner studying at Franciscan University of Steubenville

For our second show in February, we will chat with Rachel Smith, daughter of Anthony and Tracy Smith, St. Mark parishioners, granddaughter of Frank Bua, a parishioner at the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary. Rachel is a junior at Franciscan University of Steubenville, and with the blessing of its presidents, Father Dave Pivonka, Rachel shared her life at FUS, how it's referred to by students as the Catholic Disneyland, and how attending FUS has deepened her faith through Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and a great love of the Church she has experienced at FUS.

This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's three stations, 91.7 FM, 93.1 FM, and 103.1 FM in Wilmington on the second two weekends of February, Saturdays at 11 a.m. and Sundays at 6 p.m. 

Virtual Rosary Prayer Group

Wilmington has it's own Rosary Across America now and it was launched on Thursday, March 19, and will continue every Thursday evening at 8:00 "until all our Churches can reopen" in the words of the leader, Sabina Newman, a parishioner at Saint Mark.

According to Sabina,

I want to reach out to you in this stressful time for our nation and Church.  When I saw our Church doors locked, my heart sank. Even though the doors are closed, HE is truly with us.  I always remember what is written in the Bible, Matthew 18:20 - "For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

I am proposing a virtual prayer/rosary group that can grow.  We want Jesus to know we hear Him and support Him.  Also, as His children, we need His help. Our Blessed Mother will guide us through her beautiful rosary. 

This is a live teleconference. No pre-registration is needed.  Just dial in before the start time.
