Welcome to the website for the voice of Catholicism on the airwaves in southeastern North Carolina.  You're at the right place if you want to learn about or listen to truly Catholic shows like Catholic Answers Live,  the Drew Mariani Show, and many, many more including our own Carolina Catholic show. 

Wilmington Catholic Radio can be heard on our three affiliate stations in the greater Wilmington area and in Southport. 

Stories of Conversion and Courage

For our first June show, Carolina Catholic talks to Jim and Gini Mulligan, members of the Basilica Shrine of St. Mary, about their remarkable lives and Gini's conversion to the Catholic faith. Gini and Jim married when she was a Methodist, and Gini details how she was led slowly and beautifully into the Catholic faith and raised their large family as Catholics. Joined by two heroes and former POWs from the Vietnam War, their fathers, Retired Colonel Sam Johnson, USAF, and Captain James Mulligan, USN, Gini and Jim are the only children of POWs from the Vietnam era who married. Their fathers were two of eleven members of the USAF and USN who endured over six years as POWs singled out for the harshest of torture earning the nickname, the Alcatraz Gang, while in the "Hanoi Hilton." Each night, the brave men sent code to one another via tap, tapping out GBU, God bless you.

This show will air the first two weekends of June, Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm. 

On Fatima, Faustina, and the Divine Mercy Academy

For our first May Carolina Catholic show, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the important apparitions in Fatima, we chat with Ignatius Press Marketing Director, Anthony Ryan, about two new photo books on Fatima and Faustina. In Fatima Mysteries: Mary's Message to the Modern Age, we learn incredible facts about Our Lady of Fatima, her messages, and the connection to Pope St. John Paul II and the assassination attempt on his life on May 13, 1981. We then delve into Trust: In St. Faustina's Steps and learn about how the Divine Mercy message was spread to the whole world and Pope St. John Paul's love of this devotion.

In our second May show, we speak to the headmaster of Wilmington's Divine Mercy Academy, a Christian high school steeped in Catholic tradition, that will open its door this coming August. 

These shows will air on Saturdays at 11 am and Sundays at 6 pm. The Fatima show on the first two weekends; the Divine Mercy Academy show on the next two weekends.
