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.

| 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. Unfortunately, with a transmitter tower located at the edge of the marsh by the Stono River off Wappoo Road, 730 AM has taken a beating from recent storms and hurricanes. South Carolina Catholic Radio has been forced make emergency repairs and rely a lower-power, back-up transmitter offering only 1,000 watts of power. Work must be done to replace the primary transmitter and conduct overall permanent repairs to improve the durability of the site. South Carolina Catholic Radio estimates the price-tag for this work to be $50,000. One way you can support Catholic Radio is with a gift of stock. A few shares of highly appreciated stock can make an enormous difference in helping improve the quality and reach of Catholic Radio in the Lowcountry. PLEASE, help bring Catholic Radio feed souls hungering for the truth, beauty, and love of Jesus Christ. Give now! Ask our Lord to guide you. Help us bring His Holy Word to souls in need. |
