Early giving is now live! You can also explore details about the upcoming 2026 Fall Spirit Drive. Keep an eye on this page, as it will be updated over the next several days!
Twice each year, we come to you for help funding our apostolate. Our mission is to bring uplifting authentic Gospel teaching to the people in our listening area. We want to inspire conversion of heart and bring everyone to Jesus Christ through our broadcasting. Over the years, The Rock has changed the lives of many who found it by channel surfing, through the bumper magnets on your cars, or even through your shared social media posts.
This past year, we’ve expanded our reach westward with AM930 and FM100.3, and we’ve delved deeper into the podcast space getting our local shows and Wisdom from the Rock up on many major podcast platforms like Spotify, IHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, and more.
Today, we need your help to keep our mission going strong and to continue reaching out to a world that desperately needs God.
Don’t worry, after this week, we’ll return to our normal programming. For now, call one of our friendly volunteers or use our online form to make a contribution today, and scroll down this page to learn more about our guests, theme, and even some drawings!
You can become a sustaining member or business member through our online donation form, or by calling our volunteers. It’s almost the same process as making a one-time gift. We’ve made it easy!
Sustaining members give monthly, instead of all at once. It’s a great way to spread out your gift into automatic manageable pieces. New giving during the Spring Spirit Drive will be annualized for the purpose of determining your gift level. That means, we’ll count all 12 months of giving now, even though you’ll be giving monthly.
Business members also give monthly. They receive guaranteed on-air mentions for their business, club, or organization every week for as long as they’re a business member. There are multiple tiers available, too. Click the button below to learn more!

For each Spirit Drive, we like to have an additional theme topic to drive conversations and keep things interesting for our listeners. This year, we’ll be talking about The Holy Spirit.
As Catholics, we believe the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Blessed Trinity, fully God, and equal to the Father and the Son. We recite in the Nicene Creed that the Holy Spirit is “the Lord and the giver of life who proceeds from the Father and the Son.” We know we receive the seven gifts of the Holy Spirit when we receive the sacrament of Confirmation. But do we really understand the importance of the Paraclete in our lives?
Tune in to hear our dynamic co-hosts Fr. Doug Brown and Debbie Georgianni, along with a variety of special guests, as they help us better understand the Holy Spirit, our Advocate and dispenser of grace and spiritual fruits.
If you have a personal story you would like to share about an experience with the Holy Spirit, call 216-227-1260 and let our volunteer know. We may even call you back and have you share it on the air!
