Carolina Catholic chats with three authors about the beauty of silence, about the Sacred Heart of Jesus, and about All Hallows' Evel
For our second October show, we hear from three Catholic authors. First, we hear from Father Francis Bethel, OSB, about his new book, From Silence to Silence: A Benedictine Pilgrimage to God's Sanctuary. Father Bethel is a Benedictine monk who co-founded Our Lady of Clear Creek Monastery in Oklahoma. We then hear from Patrick O'Hearn about his newest book, Devotion to Jesus' Heart for Children: Sacred Heart of Jesus. And finally, the show ends with frequent guest, Anthony DeStefano, about his newest children's book, All Hallows' Eve, where we learn the true meaning of Halloween and the celebration of All Hallows' Tide.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the last two weekends of October. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
October's Teaching Moment
As you know, 2025 is the Jubilee of Hope year, and many pilgrims are going to Rome to visit the Holy Doors of Rome’s four papal basilicas. Passing through a Holy Door is a powerful reminder of God’s mercy and call to conversion. While many of us cannot make a pilgrimage to Rome this year, Bishop Zarama encourages us to take this opportunity to visit the pilgrimage sites in our diocese, which includes the Basilica of Saint Mary. To obtain the indulgence, you must make a pilgrimage to the basilica with the intention of gaining the Jubilee indulgence and participate in Mass, Adoration, or the Rosary, and you must also fulfill the four conditions for a plenary indulgence which include sacramental Confession within about 20 days, reception of Holy Communion, prayers for the pope’s intentions, complete detachment from all sin, including venial sins, and have a spirit of charity. The indulgence can be applied to you or for a soul in Purgatory. Please see the Diocese of Raleigh website below for more information.

Carolina Catholic chats with two authors, Jason Jones and Dann Aungst
For our first October show, we meet two warriors for our faith: Jason Jones, a human rights activist saving lives around the globe and the lives of the unborn, and Dann Aungst, a Certified Addiction Counselor, who has dedicated his life to helping others fight to reclaim their lives from addiction. Jason speaks to us about his newest book, Dispatches from the Great Campaign: Defending Lives on the Front Line, and how losing his daughter to abortion changed the trajectory of his life and how he produces movies like Bella and responds to human crises in Gaza, Ukraine, and elsewhere in order to do God's will. In Dann's book, Winning the Battle for Sexual Purity: Forged in the Fire of Love, Dann gives us a Catholic-centered guide to help others recover, with God's help, from this form of addiction.
This show will air on Wilmington Catholic Radio's station, 93.1 FM, on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm on the first two weekends of October. You can listen on-line live by clicking on the Listen Now tab. Or, listen 24/7 by going to the Carolina Catholic tab and clicking on the show page.
Carolina Catholic learns about St. Padre Pio of Pietrelcina from a spiritual daughter
For our second September show, we chat with Mary O'Regan, the author of Padre Pio and You. This beautiful book brings the reader the life of this saint in a very detailed but personal way by the author, who met him mystically as a teenager in 1998 when she was 14, and he transformed her life. She beautifully describes the miracles that happened to him (the stigmata, the transverberation of his heart, and his ability to bilocate) and the miracles he prayed for to help others (healings & conversions). Mary spent many years collecting his pearls of wisdom in order to guide us through Padre Pio to Jesus, who loved His friar so intensely and uniquely. Beneath all of the details of his saintly life laid out in this book, we find ourselves longing for our own relationship with Padre Pio.
