“The inventor of radio and devout Catholic, Guglielmo Marconi, pulled the switch at Radio Vatican in 1931, launching the first radio broadcast in history. Since then, the Church has utilized this and all other worthy means of social communications to engage in her work of spreading the Gospel. Ave Maria Radio has been an integral part of that chain of evangelization for more than a decade. I am always pleased to assist this apostolate in any way possible as it endeavors to present the truth of Christ and His Church with fidelity and the professionalism which God’s Word deserves.”
—Rev. Peter M. J. Stravinskas, Ph.D., S.T.D. Editor & Publisher, The Catholic Response

It is a blessing to have Ave Maria Radio broadcasting across the airwaves of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw.”

“Ave Maria Radio is one of the few news outlets that has the courage to explore the almost completely ignored but crucial question of the ideology and beliefs of Islamic jihadists, what motivates them, and how their challenge to Judeo-Christian civilization can be met most effectively.

The voice of Ave Maria Radio is increasingly indispensable in this age of ever-increasing chill on our right to free speech.”
— Robert Spencer, Author of New York Times Bestsellers: The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and The Truth About Muhamad
