OUR MISSION STATEMENT
Annunciation Radio is a Catholic media apostolate. In response to God’s call, our mission is to proclaim the truth in love. Our goals are to evangelize, educate, and encourage God’s people through the use of broadcast and other media.

To equip faith-filled Catholics with the tools they need to live and share their Faith and to draw our youth into wholeheartedly embracing the Faith
To draw inactive Catholics back to the Church and to bring others into the Catholic faith
To connect the Catholics of Northwest and North Central Ohio with each other and with the Bishop of the Toledo Diocese. We follow the teachings of the Magisterium of the Catholic Church and are in full communion with our Holy Father Pope Francis.

Why Catholic Radio?
