A NOTE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

I have been thinking about priorities lately. The current financial concerns we all are experiencing may be a catalyst for turning our attention to the things that are truly vital to our daily lives. What do we hold most dear and what are we willing to sacrifice to keep those priorities? Billings Catholic Radio is not removed from these concerns, so it is prudent for us to examine and be firm in our priorities.
 
Our mission is to Evangelize, and every day we hear callers to our programs whose lives are being filled with hope in Christ and His Church. Our Priests, Teachers, and Apologists share the Gospel message with fidelity and charity.
 
The Gospel message is how we Educate the truth of Christ’s sacrifice. We all need someone to help us understand the way God reveals Himself to us and help us open our hearts so they may be filled with the grace God pours out to assist on our journey.
 
Hearing how God loves us and recognizing the blessings we have received; we are Inspired to live a faithful life in Christ. This is seen in the many ways we imitate Christ and become a light to those in need, physically and spiritually.
 
Our priority is to remain faithful to our mission and to you, our benefactor. We know all too well that every day you examine your priorities and have trusted us to fulfill your desire to share Christ with the world. We thank you for entrusting us with such a great responsibility. Thank you for your continued generosity for Billings Catholic Radio.

Around the Diocese
EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL HAS BEGUN
YEAR OF DIOCESAN REVIVAL
June 19, 2022 – June 11, 2023

According to the Pew Research Center, only 31% of Catholics believe that the Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus. This led Church leaders to develop inspiration and understanding on the need to refocus and rediscover the importance of Eucharistic worship as the Bread of Life. In 2021, the U.S. bishops announced a Eucharistic Revival initiative – three years of prayer, pilgrimage and worship beginning at the diocesan level.
BISHOP JEFFREY M. FLEMING

It was with great joy that Bishop Michael Warfel, along with Archbishop Alexander Sample and Bishop Austin Vetter, ordained and consecrated Bishop Jeffrey Fleming to the Episcopate on Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
