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 Dates to join Father John Gatzak on one of these special pilgrimage tours 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 buttons below for the complete itineraries.

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.
