Hope and faith
41 candles on our birthday cake!
Bishop Robert Whelan pushes the “on” button for KNOM’s very first program: July 14, 1971.
On July 14, 1971, a dedicated staff of volunteers helped to launch a new kind of radio station. KNOM signed on as a mission radio station: a unifying source of inspiration, education, news, and entertainment. Today, KNOM is the oldest Catholic radio station in the United States.
Over the years, we have heard so many stories about how KNOM makes a positive difference in listeners’ lives. Years ago, a local man dropped by the radio station and, in a soft, low voice, told us how KNOM had saved his life. So many listeners have changed their lives. Many times we can’t repeat the stories, so as to respect the person’s privacy. As each story is told, we are more encouraged to make KNOM a beacon of faith, hope, and charity.
We thank everyone who has helped KNOM put 41 candles on our cake. We’ve only just begun!
Summer and Sunday Mass
Father Ross Tozzi celebrates Mass at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Nome.
Large patches of snow dot the tundra on north facing hills, but most areas are beginning to see a variety of blooming tundra flowers. Subsistence fishing and hunting will soon begin; in Western Alaska, families work hard to store up food for the winter.
Throughout KNOM’s primary coverage area, 19,230 persons are unable to worship Roman Catholic Mass in their villages more than half of the time. For these individuals, the only weekly opportunity to worship the Mass is KNOM’s Sunday morning broadcast.
A Deeper Rest
Our inspirational spot of the week:
Sometimes, faith must learn a deeper rest, and trust God’s silence when He does not speak.
