Planting a Flower of Faith in the Philippines
Radio Maria Philippines is blooming with faith and hope. But now, it needs your help to grow even further.
A Blossoming Mission in Luzon
Radio Maria Philippines was the first of its kind in Asia. It began in 2002, not far from Manila. Over the years, it has expanded steadily across the northern region of Luzon. Currently, on four FM frequencies covering multiple dioceses.
Additionally, its digital channels broadcast from the main headquarters in Tarlac. Filipino listeners have always been loyal. They support the station despite poverty and economic hardship. Their faithfulness speaks volumes about Radio Maria’s impact.
Truly, the station has become both a spiritual and social voice in their daily lives. It nourishes souls and strengthens communities. Now, more bishops want Radio Maria in their cities. They long to hear it in Tagalog and other local dialects.
The Philippines is made of over 7,000 islands. Many still wait to receive the voice of Radio Maria.
Blossoms That Need Watering
Naturally, this demand brings financial challenges. New towers, and equipment are costly. Transport and setup are major undertakings. The main studio in Tarlac needs attention. Its production equipment is outdated. The building itself requires urgent renovation. For 23 years, Radio Maria Philippines has remained self-sufficient. However, today it cannot face these new challenges alone.
Firstly, funds are needed to restore the headquarters and upgrade its technology. This is the top priority. Then, the mission will focus on expansion. Bishops are offering premises and sometimes even frequencies to help. However, to succeed, Radio Maria needs international support. It needs friends who believe in this mission.
Your Giving Can Bear Fruit
The Philippines is the world’s third-largest Catholic country. Expanding Radio Maria here is a chance to plant lasting seeds. With your help, more Filipinos can hear the Good News. Your support can turn dreams into stations of hope.
Let your giving blossom this May. Support Flores de Maria. Let Radio Maria grow, bloom, and bear fruit in the Philippines.
Mariathon 2025
Each year, we dedicate several days to raising awareness and support for the mission of
the World Family of Radio Maria.
During this time, all Radio Maria stations unite, first in prayer, asking the Lord,
through the intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary, to remove the many obstacles that
often stand in the way of launching new stations, especially in developing countries.
We also come together in a global charity effort, collecting the vital funds needed
to bring these projects to life.
Under this year’s theme “You Are My Hope”, we strive to share the hope of the Gospel and
the life of faith that Radio Maria proclaims with listeners on every continent.
