Symbols of Service
“They are the celebrants at Mass, proclaimers of the Gospel, witnesses to the Works of Mercy. They all…priests, deacons, and women religious…exemplify Symbols of Service,” said Joanne Fox, Siouxland Catholic Radio Board President.
You thought you knew your pastor, deacon, or Sister. Symbols of Service, a new local program on Siouxland Catholic Radio introduces you and our listeners about their upbringing, education, and what drew them to their vocation, Fox added.
Symbols of Service airs Thursdays at 3:20 p.m. beginning February 29 on Siouxland Catholic Radio 88.1 FM and will be available on-demand.
Symbols of Service is hosted by Derek Hill and brought to you by Landkamer Flag Sales in Wayne, Nebraska.
