We’ve all been waiting for it, and now it is here: “Glory Stories,” the weekly half-hour children’s series that many have called “the Catholic Adventures in Odyssey”! You can hear this weekly show on your local Catholic radio station (check local listings) or on EWTN Global Catholic Radio worldwide via shortwave or streaming on their website www.ewtn.com every Saturday morning at 11:30 EST.
“Glory Stories” are professional radio dramas produced by Catholic World Mission. “Glory Stories” are true stories of the lives of holy people of God, children and adults who set inspiring examples for youngsters to emulate in their early walk of Faith…and teach their parents at the same time! Stories in this first season include some of the Church’s most popular saints and each story teaches a truth of the Catholic Faith, so they are catechetical as well as fun.
What Moms are saying:
"After listening to Blessed Imelda's First Communion Miracle (on Volume 1), my six year old daughter said, 'I can't wait until I can have my First Communion!" Jenny in Virginia
"The first time I heard the show I was driving home from the store with my two oldest...and all three of us just sat in the car in the driveway for the last ten minutes because we wanted to hear how it would come out! I gave the first five volumes out as Christmas presents--and from Volume 6 I was able to learn why Saint Anthony is known as the patron of lost objects! That's right--even Mom is learning a lot from listening to these CDs!" Christie in Pennsylvania
"Every night now my kids want to hear Glory Stories for bedtime--my husband loves it because he can just pop in a CD. Then one night after a story, my eight year old came down and said, "Mommy, I want to start going to Daily Mass." Grace in Connecticut
"My husband and I home school our 6 children and they have really enjoyed your coloring books and Glory Stories CDs. Thanks for providing such inspiring storeis to help us to teach our children the beauty of the Catholic Church. These are stories that they will hold in their hearts as long as they live and bring them closer to Jesus!" Barbara in Texas
