Holtz House Gathering This past January, Lou and Beth Holtz hosted a special gathering at their lovely home in Florida for Catholic radio fans in the Orlando area. Lou Holtz, former head coach of University of Notre Dame football, achieved fame by leading the Fighting Irish to 100 victories in 11 years. He and Beth continue to leave a legacy of victories in their personal lives by the positive impact they have on those around them and by their generosity for the good of society. Over 100 fans gathered at the Holtz residence, along with Rev. Francis J. Hoffman, “Fr. Rocky” (Executive Director of Relevant Radio®) and Linda Ruf (Board Director). Notre Dame Graduates themselves were also in attendance, and they gave inspiring talks about the impact that Relevant Radio is making in the field of evangelization. We are pleased to be broadcasting on our newest affiliate WIGW 90.3 FM in Eustis, FL, covering Lake County and The Villages. It’s an honor to serve the Diocese of Orlando, and we soon hope to be broadcasting in the city of Orlando!

Mission Message Spring is a time for new life and growth. We’ve certainly seen the fruits of our labors here at Relevant Radio®, all thanks to the hard work of our associates and the prayers and generosity of our wonderful listeners and supporters. The Family Rosary Across America, which debuted earlier this year, has had a steady growth in listenership and is becoming an important part of many listeners’ daily lives. If you haven’t tuned in yet, check it out!

How powerful it is to be able to pray with and for one another.

Our digital platforms—website, app, and social media—continue to see growth in audience and visits.

Our website is now seeing ONE

MILLION pageviews in 30 days, a huge increase in just a few months!

Relevant Radio has also been very blessed by many new donors from all across the country giving during our last pledge drive to support our mission of evangelization. It’s very encouraging to see such growth— it’s also an affirmation that we are moving hearts.

Of course, we give all the glory and praise to God for blessing Relevant Radio beyond measure. Prayer is at the heart of our mission, and it’s your prayers that have gotten us this far. Thank you for your support, your prayers, and for sharing your favorite programs with your family and friends!

May God bless you and your loved ones in the upcoming Easter season.
