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.

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.
