Highlights from this episode of American Catholic Radio include:
Saint of the Day
St. Margaret Clitheroe was a courageous saint from 16th-century England. She and
her family lived in what proved to be a dangerous time to be Catholic. Her choice to remain faithful
resulted in her imprisonment and martyrdom.
Living Faith
Greg and Jennifer Willits started RosaryArmy.com, have a podcast that is family oriented and will
soon have a program on “The Catholic Channel” on Sirius Satellite Radio (also home to American
Catholic Radio). They were instrumental in furthering the ministry of SQPN, an organization
specializing in the production of audio and video programs faithful to the teachings of the Roman
Catholic Church.
