Summer Greetings! Today, as I was preparing to write to you, the house was so hot and humid that I decided to turn on the air conditioner. I went around the house shutting windows, I turned on the air, sat down to begin writing and began to feel a bit of cooler air when I heard a loud crack of thunder. Sometimes I get so busy about my day I don’t notice what is happening around me. I hadn’t noticed that the sky was dark and that could have been the reason for the excessive humidity. When the rain began it was like God telling me, I’m here, don’t be so busy that you forget to take care of the big picture rather than dwell on the small details. I’m enjoying sitting here watching this rain nourish our grass and flowers, while I think of Him watching over me, over all of us, as we go about our days, waiting for our invitation to ask Him into our lives.

We are very happy to announce that we have completed the increase in the signal strength of the nighttime for KHOJ AM 1460 from 85 watts to 210 watts. Daytime coverage for KHOJ is 5000 watts. This additional night time power upgrade will improve coverage primarily in Saint Charles and North County. This has been a project we have been working on for some time and we hope that it will help many more people in those areas to listen to coverage throughout the night.

Recently we learned Monsignor Morris, host of Sacraments, Sacramentals, and the Sacramental Life of the Church, will be leaving Saint Louis to begin teaching at the Pontifical College Josephinum in Columbus, Ohio. Covenant Network will be hosting a reception for him on Sunday, July 18 from 1 - 4 p.m. Please plan to drop by and greet Monsignor Morris and thank him for all he has done for us. We will have food and drinks available, but we invite you to bring something to share as well.

Covenant Network needs your help. Please prayerfully consider supporting this apostolate. We rely on the support of our listeners in continuing to provide Catholic radio. Your assistance will make a difference in the lives of many.

Enjoy the remainder of the summer. Please pray for our country and all of our leaders this Independence Day. May God bless you!

Sincerely in Christ,
Teresa M. Holman
