Transform your Life through Relevant Radio 1330 AM and the Relevant Radio App!
About five years ago I discovered Relevant Radio on my morning commute to Minneapolis, and it changed my life. Now I use the app to pray the rosary on my way to work, and listen to programming that "bridges the gap between faith and everyday life." As the Catechism teaches, "[t]he education of the conscience is a lifelong task." Why not give it a try in 2019? For more information you can contact Jon Guden, Relevant Radio Parish Ambassador and Lifelong Faith Formation Commission member, at (952) 322-0223.
