Divine Mercy Radio in Hays and Great Bend is joining over 200 Catholic Radio stations in the United States in participating in the National Day of Prayer for Catholic Radio on Sunday, Aug. 14.  This is the first year there has been a national day of prayer specifically for Catholic radio.

“Catholic Radio Association chose Aug. 14 as the national day of prayer because that is the feast day of Saint Maximilian Kolbe,” said Donetta Robben, executive director of Divine Mercy Radio.

Saint Maximilian was known for his evangelization efforts through a monthly periodical called “Knight of the Immaculate.” He also had an amateur radio license.  He offered his life in place of a man who had a family in the German death camp of Auschwitz.

“We live in a violent and confused world,” Robben said. “Catholic radio is a beacon of light especially to souls searching for meaning in their lives. Please take time to pray for this apostolate.”

Divine Mercy Radio can be heard on 88.1 FM in the Hays (KVDM) and Great Bend (KRTT) areas.  The station can also be listened to at dvmercy.com and click on “listen live,” or by downloading the smart phone app.
