Listener-Supported Catholic Radio
News & Updates
FaithfulGive is a local generosity event happening over three days from Sunday, October 20 to Tuesday, October 22, 2024. FaithfulGive is helping to connect people who desire to love like Jesus, give in joy, and share one another's burdens through prayer and service.
Holy Family Radio is happy to be a part of this exciting opportunity.
During October 20-22, your dollar can be stretched when you participate in FaithfulGive. FaithfulGive is an organization that was created to provide a giving channel that is aligned to Christian values. For charities that are participating, there is a stretch fund that will be split according to the amount each charity raises. The more funds we can raise, the bigger the share of the stretch fund and prizes that we can be awarded. Simply use the link below and be generous as you donate.
100% of your donation will go directly to Holy Family Radio PLUS we will get funds from the shared fund.
Giving through FaithfulGive multiplies your donation!
October Pledge Drive: BE A SAINT
Saints for Holy Family Radio?
YES! There are saints among us because “we were all born to be saints!” This was Mother Angelica’s message throughout her many years of broadcasts on EWTN.
Can we be saints for Holy Family Radio? YES WE CAN! When Jesus walked the earth, He said that we are all to be disciples and spread God’s Word to everyone. As individuals, it is hard to go out and evangelize. But Holy Family Radio does this every day through outstanding programs that share the Word of God with the people of our Diocese and beyond.
And how do they do this? With the help of YOU - - our “unsung saints,” our listeners who have responded to our calls for financial help to spread God’s Word. Throughout the years you have been most generous in helping us to be successful in our mission. This station has grown because of your assistance.
The times we currently live in have changed. The covid shutdown events of 2020 affected us as it did all non-profits. Our monthy donors have continued to help us but donations in general are lower than they had been in the past. A number of regular donors have moved from the area. We have had some major equipment breakdowns. Even though a few people came forward to help, the daily need for funds continue.
The month of October is the month of Saints for Holy Family Radio. You can select a date to be a saint and send in your donation. An envelope has been provided or you can go online at 720WHYF.com to donate. We are very grateful for your continued support!
May God abundantly bless you for being a Holy Family Radio Saint!
Please note - - a regular donor has offered to give fifty dollars for each thousand dollars that we raise. COME ON SAINTS – WE ARE COUNTING ON YOU!
Attention Homeschooling Families! An effort is underway to bring Regina Caeli Academy, a Catholic classical homeschool hybrid school, to the greater Harrisburg Area for the 2025-26 school year. A representative from the national expansion team will present an information session on Oct. 17 from 7-9 pm in St. Bernadine Hall at Holy Name of Jesus. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Regina Caeli and ask questions. Location of the school, which is in session on Mondays and Thursdays, will be predicated on the families committed to attending.

Shanthi Dham (Abode of Peace) is a Fransalian (Missionaries of St. Francis de Sales) initiative in Mysuru, Karnataka, South India, inspired by the life of Saint Mother Teresa of Calcutta, who found Jesus in the distressing disguise of the poorest of the poor and served Him in the poorest of the poor, the unwanted, homeless, orphans, lepers, neglected and unloved people.
We rejoice that work is underway! Construction of Shanthi Dham began in February 2024; we are grateful to be able to share the progress since then with you. Please click the logo on the lef for more information.
