Friend of EWTN Ireland

EWTN Ireland’s initiatives have been made possible because of your prayers & financial support. We would like to team up with you further in the coming years and to do this we created the “Friends of EWTN” programme which will give you a deeper insight in to our work. Being a “Friend of EWTN” means that you remember us in your prayers & donations, and we in EWTN feel a “togetherness” and “oneness of spirit” in this friendship as we work hard for the glory of His Holy Name. It does really means a lot to us when we feel your support, and it adds “Wind to our Sails” when we hear from you.

Below is a small example of what we do to bring the Catholic Faith to you and others in Ireland.

Catholic Faith in our Schools

We have a great relationship with schools, and have given thousands of DVDs to Teachers to help with their teaching of our Catholic faith. This year has been a difficult one for teachers & children. As a result, we gave free video access “Online” to thousands of schools across Ireland so that children could learn about the faith, eg. First Holy Communion, The Rosary, Confession, The Holy Mass, etc.

Faith & Life

In “Faith and Life” EWTN Ireland’s Campbell Miller interviews Catholics living their life through their Faith. In this inspiring EWTN series, interviewees tell us where they have come from and where God is taking them. In each of their testimonies we learn about God’s love, grace and His work in their lives as they follow the journey He has chosen for them.

Social Media

In the New Testament, many times we see Jesus talking to the crowds. As you know, millions of people use social media such as Facebook and Twitter each day. So, in this modern era, we too must work hard to reach out to the crowds, particularly young people. We have had great success with this in 2020, but we have a lot more to do. Your support allows us to do this.

Advent Reflections

As you know, EWTN broadcasts “Advent Reflections” each December to help audiences prepare spiritually for Christmas. The four episodes were filmed in St. Catherine’s Dominican Church, Newry, County Down. We are very grateful to the Prior there, Fr. David Tohill, OP, for access to this beautiful Church. Each episode will be broadcast three times on EWTN on: Sunday, Monday & Wednesday of each week during Advent.

Consecration of Ireland to The Immaculate Heart of Mary

In March Archbishop Eamon Martin consecrated Ireland and its people to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. He said that in times of trouble & trial, the Irish people always turned to Mary. Archbishop Eamon prayed for the love & protection of our Blessed Mother during this difficult time. EWTN recorded this event and broadcast it around the world as an urgent news piece on EWTN News Nightly.

Nativity Scenes around the World

Campbell Miller also filmed these short little Crib scenes with Fr. Adrian Farrelly discussing his collection of “Nativities” from around the world. Fr. Adrian has over 50 different of these in his possession, and each has its own unique story resembling the local culture & heritage of the country they originated from.
