(April 05, 2011) The Eternal Word Television Network - EWTN, is expanding its programming
to three hours on Faith Satellite Radio, FSR in Africa. EWTN announced its expansion
last Friday. SIGNIS, the World Catholic Association for Communication, is making
possible the FSR programming. SIGNIS launched a project last year to bring satellite
radio to 31 African countries. "We are pleased to be added to Faith Satellite’s service
and know our African audience is grateful for this new way to listen to EWTN,” said
EWTN President Michael Warsaw. Additionally, FSR is promoting an “Adopt a Parish
in Africa” campaign. This initiative allows parishes outside of Africa to make a small
monthly donation to their adopted parish. With this donation, FSR is able to provide
adopted parishes with a satellite radio, so parishioners can hear Catholic programming
around the clock.
