O true joy.
n 8 December 2015, the project of Radio Mariam was born. The past three years have been a mission of bringing Christ to those whose hearts thirst for
Radio Mariam’s mission is directed toward all Arabic-speaking Christians in the world, to be their voice, particularly in an area of the East where Christians still suffer persecution and death because of their faith. It was no accident that the World Family of Radio Maria chose Rome for Radio Mariam’s headquarters. It is a great sign that, from the heart of the Church and close to the tomb of the apostle Peter, faith continues to shine and is strengthened with the Word of Christ.
For this reason, it is a unique project of evangelization. Radio Mariam’s mission takes place in the Middle East through various mobile studios in Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq, and soon, Egypt. All this is made possible by listeners and donors who wholeheartedly help Radio Mariam be a sign of unity and brotherhood between the various religious denominations present in the Middle East. Radio Mariam prays to the Lord in the various rites of the Eastern Christian Churches. This is a true call to the fraternal love to which Pope Francis calls us: to dialogue with other religions and with all Christians. Radio Mariam also broadcasts in the various dialects present in the Arab world in order to be near to every Christian and every family in loving Christ and serving others in charity.
