Join us for the 8th Annual "Fishers of Men" Dinner Benefiting the Guadalupe Radio Network in Alabama!
"Dare to Believe"
Alabama "Fishers of Men" Dinner
Thursday, August 27, 7 - 9 P.M.
Doors open at 6:30 P.M.
The "Fishers of Men" Dinner is our local annual event where you can participate and show your support for the Mission of The Guadalupe Radio Network in Alabama: The Salvation of Souls through the powerful means of Radio and Digital Media!
The La Promesa Foundation, which operates the Guadalupe Radio Network (GRN), is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt charity and has been broadcasting in Alabama since 2016.
The GRN and the five stations that make up the Alabama market, are the fruits of a promise made by a group of lay Catholics forming the La Promesa Foundation in 1996.
The Promise
In a covenant of love to our Lord Jesus Christ and to Our Lady of Guadalupe we committed ourselves to:
- Protect the sanctity of life from conception until natural death.
- Carry out the Mission of Evangelization as called for by our Baptism.
- To help build strong holy families.
- To promote holy vocations.
With the inspiration from the two Holy Giants, St. John Paul II and his call for the laity's active role in the New Evangelization, and Mother Angelica, foundress of EWTN and her call for the laity to purchase radio stations, through the building up of Guadalupe Radio Network, we are dedicated to bringing “the good news of Jesus Christ to the culture and society.”
The first station went on the air in Midland, TX in 2000 and today there are 48 GRN stations reaching a population of over 31,000,000 Souls.
We trust that God, through the generosity of our listeners, donors, and sponsors, will provide the necessary funds to carry out our mission of proclaiming The Holy Name of Jesus and the Truths of His Church through the powerful means of radio and digital media.
