About this sermon
Today marks a somber anniversary for the EWTN family, as we remember Mother Angelica, who passed away nine years ago on Easter Sunday. Born Rita Antoinette Rizzo in Canton, Ohio, she later entered a convent in Cleveland, Ohio, and became Sister Mary Angelica of the Annunciation, a Franciscan nun of the Most Blessed Sacrament. The order later changed its name to the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration. With the sale of fishing lures and roasted peanuts, she and the sisters were able to support their work. More widely becoming known as "Mother Angelica," she founded a monastery in Alabama — an endeavor that would eventually lead to the creation of EWTN, the world’s largest Catholic media network. Father Joseph Mary Wolfe, EWTN's chaplain who joined EWTN as an engineer just four years after the network was launched, reflects on his first encounter with Mother Angelica as well as her last moments with us. He also shares her profound influence on vocations and her lasting impact and legacy through EWTN. ------------- EWTN News Nightly airs on EWTN weekdays at 6pm & 9pm ET. ------------ Don't miss an episode of EWTN New Nightly.
