Guest: John Putbrese, President of KWKY Catholic Radio
Featured Saint of the Day: Bl. Mary Frances Schervier

Today John Putbrese, President of KWKY Catholic Radio, joined Deacon Rick and Jenny for Rise and Shine. He wanted to thank all of the faithful listeners of KWKY Catholic Radio for supporting us during our Mini-Pledge Drive last week. It was very successful and we met our overall goal for the drive thanks to all of your help. It was beautiful because with four hours of the drive left we were $10,000.00 short of our goal and within those last four hours due to the generosity of many of our listeners we were able to meet our goal.

There are a lot of exciting things going on at KWKY including the announcement of a new studio on the ground floor of the Diocesan Offices on 6th and Grand in downtown Des Moines. We are beginning to plan our Faith Matters Conference for next year as well as anticipating Bishop Pates doing a show with us. The studio in Des Moines will need some work before it is ready, so keep the endeavors of KWKY in your prayers.

The Staff and Board of KWKY feel very blessed to be serving the community of Iowa and we thank all of our listeners for making what we do worth-while.
