We are a listener supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that is legally known as 2820 Communications, Inc. This network was created in response to Pope St. John Paul II's call for the laity to take co-responsibility in the spreading of God's Word through the catechetical and evangelical work of the Church. It broadcasts to the Diocese of Peoria with the approval of Bishop Louis Tylka. Catholic Spirit Radio's two-fold mission is to deepen the knowledge of Catholics and to share the goodness, truth, and beauty of the True Faith in order to bring others to Christ through the Catholic Church. Our goal is to catechize Catholics and evangelize Christians of other faith traditions, the unchurched, and non-believers relying on Holy Scripture, Sacred Tradition, and the Magisterium of the Catholic Church as the pillar and bulwark of truth (cf. 1 Timothy 3:15).
