What's the Station Look Like??

Here are a few pix, but if you REALLY wanna see it, you need to come visit us: 5601 Cassia in Boise!





Not every station has its own lifeboat... Lifeboat??


Not every station has the Blessed Virgin looking out for them either! Now SHE's a lifeboat!!

Fr German Osorio


Father is sharing about how he became interested in the priesthood. He is newly ordained in June 2010 after attending Mount Angel seminarian in Oregon, which he loves.

He believes in the POWER of Catholic radio and challenges his parishioners of St Paul's in Nampa to call in while he's on the air!

Think about it.
Pray about it.
Call us if He wants you to: 344-4774

No amount is too small.

Friends of Our Lady of Tears


Marylou Molitor and Dave Wilper are telling us about the Catholic Church in Silver City, its history and what's going on there currently. They brought along a pen made out of the original Communion railing from Our Lady of Tears and some beautiful note cards as a pledge drive gift. Call in to win!!

Fr Funke from Nampa is the priest for Our Lady of Tears. He holds Mass there once a month during the summer months, and Bishop Mike often celebrates Mass once during the summer, too.

Marylou challenges listeners to make a pilgrimage to Silver City. Better wait till after Memorial Day, though, or you might get stuck in the snow! From Boise, the first 60 miles are on paved road, then there's another 12 miles or so on gravel road. From Nampa, go south 4 miles past Murphy then watch for the sign to Silver City. Only 20 miles from there!
Be adventurous!


Jerry Usher working hard! He's our guest host, the former Catholic Answers host. Thanks for all your help, Jerry!!

Curious about a Cursillo??


Barb Dauner, Jim Scherer, and George Weisbeck join us to talk about what a Cursillo is and how it can change lives! In Barb's words, retreat-goers attend Mass, can go to Reconciliation, hear talks by laypeople, pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy, eat (great food!), sing, laugh, and, most importantly, form a community. Community, she says, is what it's all about :D

They also came bearing an exquisite gift - a Nativity Cross. This cross is part of a drawing for the hour, so don't forget to pledge by calling 344-4774!
