Life Chain

For the 34rd year, Wilmington will join over 1,500 cities in the US and Canada for Life Chain 2026, which will be held Sunday, October 4, from 2:30 to 3:30 PM. Life Chain IS NOT political or confrontational. Participants prayerfully display uniform signs which state the truth about abortion. It is an opportunity for local churches to unite in prayer and stand up for the rights of the unborn. Everyone who believes in the protection of unborn children and their mothers is invited to participate.

Locations assigned for local Catholic churches are on College Road generally in front of the old KMart.  Questions?  Visit the Facebook page, Wilmington Life Chain. 

Carolina Catholic learns how Catholics should understand and celebrate Halloween

For our second September show, we will answer the question, which enters the minds of the Catholic Faithful when it comes to celebrating Halloween: What do we do as Catholics with Halloween? Our guest, Charles D. Fraune, is an author, teacher, and speaker, and we will delve into his book, Exorcising Halloween: A Guide to Sanctifying the Season. This wonderful book addresses the questions that arise yearly about how to be a Catholic parent and guide our children on Halloween. This is a very important subject especially given the fact that our youth today are at risk of an interest in the occult, which has risen to alarming levels. Exorcising Halloween seeks to remedy that confusion as we learn the real history and purpose of Halloween, the dangers present in our culture, and the power and beauty of the Feast of All Saints.

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 September. 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.

September's Teaching Moment

For those of us who are privileged by Holy Mother Church to carry out duties as Lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, it is imperative that we keep in mind where we are and what we are doing when we perform these duties. We are in the sanctuary, the most holy place in Church, where Our Lord is actually present. As ministers of His Word and of His Holy Body and Precious Blood, we have a duty to show the greatest respect and reverence for His presence.  We do so by dressing for the occasion, and our attire and mannerisms should not attract attention to ourselves but instead demonstrate the reverence we show for the presence of the Holy Eucharist. We don’t wear shorts or jeans, as what we wear on the altar shows respect for the duties that we are privileged to perform as lectors and Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist.

The 40th Anniversary Gala will be held on Friday evening, September 25th, in the Upper Room of the Tileston Center. Sister Isaac opened and operated what was then called the Tileston Center from 1986 to her retirement at age 80 in 2016. Mary Ann Kotas took over in 2016 and spent nine years as director and 20 years at the center, retiring in 2025. Theresa has been director since December 2025. In this show, we will learn about the amazing life of Sister Isaac and the 40 years that the greater Wilmington area has been graced by the center with its incredible directors and volunteers.
