Holy Family Radio

We interviewed Trish Short, the producer for the film, "Ms.Led" last week. The movie is being screened by Grand Rapids Right to Life coming up Thursday, August 1st at Celebration Cinema North. Tickets are only $5.00 each, but must be purchased in advance. Visit our website for details and links to all the appropriate information: https://www.holyfamilyradio.net/featured/ms-led-movie-screening/

Due to the storms overnight / this morning, we have lost power to the studio and a few towers. The estimated restoration for the studio will be 3am Wednesday morning. No word yet on the towers. Please pray for all affected by the storm.

Looking for financial support for an app to assist our listers with a simple will.

With the recent spring thaw and rain, the flood plain by out towers has risen to the point we have to shut down power to the 1140 AM WVHF station. You may still listen to 98.3 FM and streaming through our mobile app. As the floodwaters recede, we'll evaluate and return the station to full power as soon as we are able.

WVAV in Kalamazoo is without power. We expect it to get back to full power Saturday. Sorry for the inconvenience. God bless.
