March's Teaching Moment
Lent is a wonderful time to pray for the Holy Souls in Purgatory including our family members, friends, and consecrated clergy, and we shouldn’t canonize them forgetting to pray for them. Here are several ways to pray for them: Offer 30 Gregorian Masses for your deceased loved ones. Pray the Stations of the Cross or offer your Holy Communion for them. Obtain indulgences or pray the Divine Mercy Chaplet for them. Sprinkle holy water on the ground praying, “By this holy water and by Thy precious blood, wash away all my sin, O Lord, and relieve the souls in purgatory.” Pray the Eternal Rest prayer. Spend time in Eucharistic Adoration. Spread devotion to the Holy Souls. And pray the Prayer of St. Gertrude for them, which is said to release 1,000 Holy Souls when prayed: “Eternal Father, I offer You the most precious blood of thy Divine Son, Jesus, in union with the Masses said throughout the world today, for all the Holy Souls in Purgatory, for sinners everywhere, for sinners in the universal Church, for those in my own home, and in my family. Amen.”

Carolina Catholic chats with human trafficking expert, Bill Woolf, about the Epstein files and how Catholics should react to what's in these files
For our first show in March, I speak with Bill Woolf, one of our country's foremost experts on the crime of human trafficking and a Catholic husband and father of six children, about what we've learned with the release of these files and what we as Catholics should know about this crime and how we must pray hard to bring an end to it. We also learn how abortion is a tool used by traffickers.

Carolina Catholic gets ready for Lent by learning about martyrs and a devotion to Our Lord in the Womb
For our second show in February, I speak again to Bishop Athanasius Schneider, Auxiliary Bishop of Astana, Kazakhstan, about his newest work from TAN Books, No Greater Love: The True Meaning of Martyrdom. In this book, His Excellency shares his personal stories of priests and laity who fought against the evils of communism to keep the Catholic faith alive, as well as stories of others who have died for their faith. In another book from TAN Books, we learn about the first divine nine months of Our Lord's life when He was in the womb of Mary. This beautiful devotion was written by Fr. Henry James Coleridge, SJ, who died in 1893, and we hear from Jason Gale, VP of Content & Production at TAN, about this beautiful abridgement of the original 1885 publication.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the third and fourth weekends of February.

Carolina Catholic learns about the difficulties of coming home through redeployment and the origins of Valentine’s Day
For our second show in January 2026, I have the incredible privilege of talking to Dr. Bobby Jakucs, a Marine Corps combat veteran and a Catholic clinical psychologist, about his 2025 article, “Coming Home Through Redeployment” (Catholic Exchange). In this moving article, he explains the challenges faced by veterans of wars when reintegrating into American society. I also talk again to Anthony DeStefano about his newest book, Your Valentine, the story of St. Valentine which reveals the heroic faith and compassion of this beautiful saint.
