Welcome
Carolina Catholic Professionals is a membership organization associated with Lucis Via Charities, Inc., a Charleston-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
We serve to share the Good News of the Gospel through word and works by defending the Magisterium of the Catholic Church, providing a spiritual refuge for Catholic Laity and Christian believers, encouraging a rigorous intellectual and Godly examination of ideas, and providing Christ-informed service and charity to the community.
Our motto is Humanitas Christi: Christ’s People. We are joined in communion through our shared Catholic Christian faith and our calling to bear witness to the Gospel in the way we live our lives. We are Christ’s people encountering the world.

It is time for each of us to support Catholic Radio in South Carolina If you are a believer in Christ you know that the world is in desperate need of the His Holy Word. Today, there is no greater media source for Christian evangelization than Catholic Radio, which presents the Gospel and offers apologetics 24/7 over the airwaves. Carolina Catholic Professionals is helping to build the capacity of Catholic Radio in South Carolina. The Lowcountry is blessed to have three Catholic Radio stations, 730 AM, 106.7 FM, and a new station WBEI 102.9 FM licensed to Bishop England High School. While the two FM stations are low-power, 730 AM is the 5,000-watt broadcasting anchor for Catholic Radio in the Lowcountry. | The Saint John Cemetery Memorial Project Thanks be to God, the grace of the Holy Spirit, and support from many wonderful souls, the initial phase of landscaping work has begun at Saint John Cemetery. The next phase will include the installation of an irrigation system and additional plant materials. The final phase will consist of completing the walkway, building the memorial foundation stand, and installing the central cross, the carving of which is currently underway. Should we have sufficient remaining funds available, we will install benches. God willing, we hope to be finished in time for All Souls Day. Thank you for your interest, support, and prayers. Names of people buried in St. John Cemetery, Taken from the Death Registry of St. Peter Church We ask you to join us in support of this effort. Please contact Frank Dirks email: carolinacatholics@gmail.com phone: 843-670-1350
