The Radio Maria England broadcasting service is now available on DAB+ Digital Radio in England’s Greater Manchester and Stockport areas.

To celebrate the development, and to pray for the success of the Catholic radio station’s mission to spread the Gospel, Radio Maria England has organised a blessing of the new antenna facilitating the new digital service, accompanied by praying the Rosary, on Saturday 20 July.

Fr Sean Davidson from St Joseph’s, Stockport, will be presiding over the blessing and leading the public Rosary, which will take place in Hyde, a town in Tameside, Greater Manchester. The saying of the Rosary will be broadcast live on the radio at 2 p.m.
