Recently I learned of an alarming situation that I felt should be brought to the attention of our members of the
Knights of Columbus.................................
"Did you know that Catholic Forum, the radio program that is produced by the Office of Communications of the
Diocese of Wilmington, is the oldest Catholic radio program in the United States? Well, it is! It has been on the air
on WDEL since 1939!
In August of 2006, Catholic Forum began to be carried on WGMD, 92.7 FM in Sussex County making Catholic
radio available in that area for the very first time. Now the program may have to be canceled unless a business, indi-
vidual or organization is found to help sponsor the program. Sponsorships are less than $50.00 a week. For more
information, call Bob Krebs at 302-573-3116. Let's help the diocese keep Catholic radio on the air in Sussex
County."
If you know of any business, individual or organization that might have a need for advertisement please
speak to them and then give them Bob's name and phone number.
WISHING YOU ALL A WONDERFUL SPRING AND THE BLESSINGS OF EASTER
Vivat Jesus!
bestows on her as the Mother of Jesus Christ our Lord. We honor her under this title both in
the Litany of the Virgin Mary and also in prayer especially when we pray for peace. The
peace which our Lady gives to us is not always a peace which is the cessation of wars or
hostilities, but a peace which only comes from her Divine Son, the Prince of Peace. We can
experience that inner peace if we pray and are one in heart, mind, and soul as she was with
her divine son. Every year we celebrate the feast of Our Lady Queen of Peace. All Chris-
tians throughout the world celebrate this special day invoking the Mother of God to intercede
for us and bring peace to our world. Our world indeed is in need of God's peace and love.

rising from a soul made full of grace, prepared by God to welcome the Word to the world that the world itself might be
reborn. In you, the reign of God has dawned, a reign of grace and peace, love and justice, born from the depths of
the Word made flesh. The Church throughout the world joins you in praising him whose mercy is from age to age. O

they may reach the haven of peace and light prepared in him who calmed the sea. Keep all your children safe from
harm for the waves are high and we are far from home. As we set forth upon the oceans of the world, and cross the
deserts of our time, show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb, for without your Son we are lost.
