Ep. 4.56: Mother Angelica, Covenant Network, and the Rise of Catholic Radio in the Heartland
from Saint Louis: The Story of Catholic Evangelization of America’s Heartland · host Covenant Network
This episode traces how Mother Angelica’s fiery courage and unwavering trust in Providence helped ignite a Catholic media revolution that eventually reached St. Louis, inspiring the birth of Covenant Network and transforming Catholic evangelization across the Midwest. Drawing from Raymond Arroyo’s vivid biography, the conversation follows Mother Angelica’s battles with bishops, her bold defense of orthodoxy, and her determination to build EWTN despite impossible odds—before shifting to the local story of how Tony and Teresa Holman, guided by prayer, cassette tapes, and a providentially affordable AM station, launched WRYT and expanded Catholic radio into dozens of communities. With tornadoes, unexpected donors, devoted collaborators, and a growing audience hungry for truth, the episode shows how one cloistered nun’s mission became a lifeline for countless souls, proving that when ordinary people step out in faith, God multiplies their efforts far beyond anything they imagined.
