Welcome to Mary’s Touch!

We are a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization located in Austin, Texas.

We produce Mary’s Touch, an award-winning, thirty-minute Catholic radio program that is broadcast weekly from more than 100 stations across the country.

Mary’s Touch has received an ecclesiastical approbation from Bishop Gregory Aymond and the Diocese of Austin.

In 2008, Mary’s Touch was recognized with a Gabriel Award for outstanding inspirational programming by the Catholic Academy of Communications Arts Professionals.

In answer to Blessed Pope John Paul II's call for evangelization using contemporary media, we distribute the radio program free of charge to the stations that broadcast the show.

We rely on your generous donations to continue our work.

 

In late 2009, after hearing that U.S. Troops can sometimes go for weeks or even months without benefits of Mass or the Sacraments, we initiated the Frontline Faith Project.

The first 1000 MP3 players were distributed in Baghdad and eastern Afghanistan in July 2010. Since that time, we have distributed more than 16,000 MP3 players.

The players include a celebration of the Mass; an examination of conscience; a “Warrior Rosary,” conceived by Lynda MacFarland, the wife of a career military man, using the Sorrowful Mysteries and recited by the auxiliary bishops and chaplain priests of the Archdiocese for the Military Services; and prayers written and recited by children. Other programming on the players includes, homilies, music, and two-and-a-half hours of stories about faith in military life, told by troops in their own words.

The players provide real spiritual nourishment and support for the brave men and women serving our country. They are available at no charge to any member of our Armed Forces who wishes to receive one.

The Frontline Faith Project was recently recognized with a Clarion Award by the Catholic Academy "for creativity and initiative in the use of today's technology to provide Catholic spiritual content and God's solace to the men and women serving in our Armed Forces.”
