An End of Year Message from our Executive Director
Dear friends of Mater Dei Radio,
Imagine the Blessed Virgin Mary, alone in her room when the Angel Gabriel delivered God’s message to her at the Annunciation. Without hesitation, she responded, and her humble fiat was a critical step in God’s plan for our salvation. His call also comes to us at the most unexpected moments in our lives.
I was reminded of the Annunciation when one of our loyal listeners, Susan, shared that Mater Dei Radio played a central role in her conversion: “Mater Dei Radio is one of the main reasons why I came into the Church. I want to help others be inspired to do the same.” God’s beckoning reached Susan and now she pledges her support to assist others. What a great blessing! But we need you to join Susan to help fund the programming that moves hearts and changes lives.
Mater Dei Radio bridges the gap between faith and everyday life by delivering transformative Catholic programming to those hungry for the healing presence of Christ. Our listeners come from all walks of life — young and young at heart, active and homebound. By supporting Mater Dei Radio, you bring Christ’s Truth to the young adult discerning their vocation. You provide that positive message to the child on their way to school. Your support funds uplifting programming that strengthens the person undergoing cancer treatment. We are honored to accompany our listeners throughout their daily lives, and we could not do it without you.
Listeners like you and Susan have helped Mater Dei Radio achieve our 35th year of operation! You are part of a strong community, growing every year! Your continued support ensures that when someone opens the Hail Mary Media App or tunes in the radio, they hear our Christ-centered message when they need it most. We never know when God will call to us. Will you say yes?
Make a Gift in Support of Mater Dei Radio
I know this message is coming to you at the busiest (and most expensive) time of year. However, as you consider your end of year giving, I hope you will keep Mater Dei Radio in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you.
God bless you,
Patrick Ryan
Executive Director
