Office of Radio & Television - Bringing Good News to Life WJMJ... Catholic Radio, Where Faith Meets Life

FOR OUR TELEVISION MASS VIEWERS: Please note that the video production equipment that generates the text that is seen on the screen (priest and lecture names, etc.) during the television Mass has failed. Unfortunately, it is an expensive piece of equipment and is being evaluated for repair or replacement. It is old and may not be repairable, in which case we would need to purchase new equipment and then train staff on the new technology before we would be able to place it in service. At this time, we do not have an estimated date for when this will be fixed. We thank you for your patience.

2025 Jubilee: The Holy Year

With Optional 2-Night Venice and St. Anthony of Padua Post Tour Extension
Jubilee 2025

The Office of Radio & Television and WJMJ Radio invite you to Save the Date to join Father John Gatzak on a special pilgrimage tour to Italy in celebration of Jubilee 2025: The Holy Year of the Roman Catholic Church. Visit our Pilgrimages page for more information or click the button below for the complete itinerary.

The Jubilee is a special year of grace, in which the Catholic Church offers the faithful the possibility of asking for a plenary indulgence, that is, the remission of sins for themselves or for deceased relatives. A Jubilee usually lasts a year and a few days: it begins just before the Christian Christmas and ends the Epiphany of the following year.

Take A Stand with Father John

March 30, 2020 - To highlight the heroic virtues of so many through this pandemic... Doctors, Nurses,  medical professionals, scientists, researches and everyday people doing what we can – social distancing and all to fight the pandemic, I share with you a song dedicated to Bergamo in Northern Italy, the city that was the epicenter of the Coronavirus pandemic in Italy.  It's called Rinascerai, Rinascerò by Roby Facchinetti.  In English, the title is I'll Be Reborn, You'll Be Reborn. Click https://youtu.be/D5DhJS5hGWc

 

In The Afterglow with Fr. John, only on WJMJ; every weekday evening from 7 to 8.

The disciples were being tossed about in a boat a few miles offshore. They saw Jesus in the middle of their stormy night.  They thought him to be a ghost.   A phantom...  To them, the glow was anything but God.  When we see gentle lights on the horizon, we often have the same reaction.  We dismiss occasional kindness as apparitions, accidents, or anomalies.  Anything but God's¦

And because we look for the bonfire, we miss the candle.  Because we listen for the shout, we miss the whisper.  But it is in burnished candles that God comes, and through whispered promises he speaks: "When you doubt, look around; He is closer than you think."  He is In The Afterglow.

"He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money." Benjamin Franklin
