The kickoff and initial broadcast of Radio CorMariae (Latin for heart of Mary) at 88.5 FM (WPMW) will take place at 6:30 p.m.

"Bishop George Coleman graciously agreed to come and preside over a prayer service at Our Lady's Chapel, which will consist of Evening Prayer and Eucharistic Benediction," said the Rev. Louis Maximilian Mary, who serves as Father Guardian at the chapel and the general manager of the studio. "Our plan is to broadcast live."

Adding its presence to this growing list is Radio CorMariae, 88.5 FM, WPMW Bayview-New Bedford, Massachusetts. Radio CorMariae marked its official launch on March 25, 2011, the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord.

Mission Statement

The mission of Radio CorMariae, operated by the Franciscans of the Immaculate, is to bring all souls to the Heart of Jesus in the “shortest, surest, most beautiful way” (St. Maximilian M. Kolbe) – through the Heart of Mary, His Mother – for the maximum glory of God. In following the example of our Seraphic Father St. Francis of Assisi, Radio CorMariae is faithful to our Holy Father, the Pope, and to the Magisterial teachings of the Roman Catholic Church.
