Faith & Sport with host Dr. John Acquaviva, author, speaker, and professor. Our Lady of Grace parishioner.

Monday’s at 5 pm and On-Demand.

Faith & Sport:  Our goal is to bring an everyday sports-talk show to Catholics and Catholic-radio listeners, but with character, morality, and ethics regularly weaved into the conversation.

Why our Faith is important in Sport:  In 2004, Pope John Paul II instituted the Office of Church and Sport to fully recognize the significance of athletics in our culture.  The pope intended that athletes, fans, parents, coaches, and sport administrators call upon their Catholic faith to guide actions and words in athletic competition, regardless of our method of participation.
