April Local Programming Update

April Local Programming Update

From April 15 – 17, we will be hosting our 2026 Spring Spirit Drive. From 8 AM until 6 PM each day, you’ll hear local voices as well as guests from around the Catholic Radio world as we ask for your support for this great apostolate. Regular programming will return the following week!

The Rock Catholic Radio produces great local shows every month. We talk about vocations and conversions, we learn the histories of our local parishes, and we sit down with our bishops for fruitful conversations. Here’s a full list of our April 2026 programming.

You can sign up for our mailing list in the “Contact Us” tab of them menu and have this list emailed directly to you every month. You’ll also receive our semi-annual paper newsletter. Sign up today!
