Carolina Catholic gets ready for the March for Life Wilmington on February 28th at Long Leaf Park
For our first show in February, I chat with my good friend, Mary Trybuskiewicz, about the upcoming fifth annual March for Life Wilmington to be held at Long Leaf Park on Saturday, February 28th, beginning at 9:00 a.m. It is both a time for those opposed to abortion to gather in prayer and to march for life. Mary and I will discuss the history of the March, the speakers over the past five years, and this year's special guest speakers.
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 February. 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 the difficulties of coming home through redeployment and the origins of Valentine’s Day
For our second show in January 2026, I have the incredible privilege of talking to Dr. Bobby Jakucs, a Marine Corps combat veteran and a Catholic clinical psychologist, about his 2025 article, “Coming Home Through Redeployment” (Catholic Exchange). In this moving article, he explains the challenges faced by veterans of wars when reintegrating into American society. I also talk again to Anthony DeStefano about his newest book, Your Valentine, the story of St. Valentine which reveals the heroic faith and compassion of this beautiful saint.

Carolina Catholic chats with Sophia Institute Press about the sanctuary light, the road to Bethlehem, and its newest app, Saintifi
For our second December show, we focus on exciting projects from Sophia Institute Press. We chat with children's book author, Susan Joy Bellavance, about her newest book, This Little Light of Thine. And we then speak to Rebecca Wildsmith, the daughter of a children's book author, Brian Wildsmith, about his book, The Road to Bethlehem. Finally, we speak to the publisher of Sophia Institute Press, Charlie McKinney, about its newest offering, an app called Saintifi. Susan's book shines a light on the Eucharist for children, while Rebecca shows us the love even animals have for Our Blessed Mother. Finally, Charlie introduces us to an app that gives us access to hundreds of Sophia's books for less than the cost of a single book on the brand new app, Saintifi.

January's Teaching Moment
During January, we commemorate in prayer and sorrow two human rights violations: abortion that began in January 1973 and human trafficking or modern day slavery, which should have ended with the Emancipation Proclamation in January 1863. Both of these should be seen as pro-life issues as they have much in common:
- Traffickers dehumanize their victims; abortion dehumanizes the unborn child.
- Abortionists abort the child for profit; traffickers sell their victims for profit.
- Traffickers fail to see the humanity of their victims. Abortionists refuse to see the unborn child as a member of the human race.
- In both of these, victims are seen as disposable at the whim of another’s will.
- The right to life is denied the unborn child; the right to live one’s life in freedom is denied the trafficking victim, and both use violence against the innocent to further their goals.
So as we begin a new year, let us pray for the victims of both of these terrible human rights violations.
