Carolina Catholic observes Human Trafficking Awareness Month (January 2025) by learning about labor trafficking, a crime which impacts us all

For our second show in January, we observe Human Trafficking Awareness Month with guest, Christine Commerce, Program Director for the Alliance to End Human Trafficking (AEHT). AEHT is a collaborative, faith-based national network that offers education, supports access to survivor services, and engages in advocacy to eradicate this crime. Christine will speak about one of the most often ignored aspects of human trafficking that impacts us all directly: labor trafficking. As per the Department of State, it is estimated that child slave labor is used to produce 204 goods that Americans consume including coffee and chocolate, and children are also used to harvest critical minerals like cobalt, copper, lithium, manganese, tantalum, tin, tungsten, and zinc, the majority of which are used to run our cell phones, tablets, and computers.

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 January.

January's Teaching Moment

As we make our New Year's resolutions, you may want to add two simple but powerful prayers to your life: saying the name of Jesus and The Jesus Prayer. January is dedicated to the Holy Name of Jesus, and there is a simple gesture that you can do as an act of reverence for His name. Upon saying or hearing the name of Jesus, which means, "God saves", gently bow your head. The name of Jesus is the most powerful name in all of Heaven and earth. Demons flee at His name, and tradition says this gesture makes amends for the blasphemous use of His name. And you can also say the Jesus Prayer often during this month: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner."

Bowing your head at the name of Jesus
The Power in the name of Jesus

Carolina Catholic chats with Sister Dede Byrne about euthanasia and the documentary, No Mercy

For our second December show, we speak again to Sister Deidre Byrne, POSC, who is the Mother Superior of her order based in Washington DC, The Little Workers of the Sacred Hearts, as well as a retired Army colonel and a double-board certified MD in family medicine and surgery. Sister 'Dede'  joins us to discuss the tragic story of her close friend, Sister Philip Marie Burle, who allegedly became a victim of 'stealth euthanasia' at a Catholic nursing home despite not being terminally ill (Sr. Philip Marie had a chronic illness, crest syndrome, not a terminal illness.) In her roles as both a physician and nun, Sister Dede will explain the Catholic teaching on dying and why we should all be vigilant about end of life care for us and our families.Sister Dede is also the subject of a 2024 biography called Sister, Soldier, Surgeon.

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 weekends of December 14 and 21.

Carolina Catholic has some great ideas for gifts from Sophia Institute Press as we begin Advent!

For our first December show, we speak to four authors from Sophia Institute Press including Anthony DeStefano, a best selling author of adult and children's books, biographer of Sister Dede Byrnes, Dr. Leisa Marie Carzon, and two  writers/illustrators of children's books, Janine Rainwater and Frank Fraser. We will speak first to Anthony about his newest children's book, Christmas in Heaven. Then we will chat with Dr. Carzon about her book on Sister Dede, entitled, "Sister, Soldier, Surgeon." Finally, we will chat briefly with Janine about her book, The Melody of Love, and then with Frank about his book, Already There.   These are all great books to help us all deepen our Catholic faith as we prepare for the birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ.
