Catholic Schools Week
"Truth and Courage" Award
Ceremony
February 3, 2012
St. John the Baptist
Catholic School
Ottsville, PA
This award
honors those modern day prophets who serve the Church. Some of them do it
through the good example they show us in living out their faith. Others show us
through their good example of service and still other through their support of
teaching the faith.
This award
was modeled after our patron - St. John the Baptist. St.
John encountered Jesus Christ when the Virgin Mary visited his mother Elizabeth.
Scripture tells us that the baby John jumped for joy. That one meeting with
Jesus helped John know what God wanted for the rest of his life - to help people
prepare for the coming of Jesus.
Dale and
Jane Meier were inspired to follow God's call to bring Catholic teaching to the
radio by listening to Mother Angelica on EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network).
Mr. Meier
says that he and his wife "prayed about whether this was what God was calling
them to do". He said that he was led to found Catholic radio "by the Holy
Spirit." Holy Spirit Radio in Doylestown WISP 1570 AM went live March 19,
1999, on the Feast of St. Joseph.
Last year
they expanded their listening audience to include Chester County, WCOJ 1420 AM.
Congratulations,
Dale and Jane! Thank you for inspiring all of us by demonstrating truth
and courage.
