Program areas at VSS Catholic Communications

VSS Catholic Communications, Inc. dba spirit Catholic radio network, operates seven full-power fm radio stations across Nebraska which serves Nebraska, western Iowa, and parts of south dakota, Missouri, Wyoming and Kansas - reaching over 2 million potential listeners. There are plans for four more stations in Nebraska through 2023. We also provide programming and engineering support to nine low-powered fm affiliate stations. We are challenging our listeners to grow in their faith each day. We feel that the biggest problem we have to address is the moral decay of our culture and life of selfishness lived by many people. If people grow in their faith, they become more altruistic and live their lives for others that expresses itself through kindness, charity and selflessness. Jesus christ and the teachings of his church show us the way to do that. We proclaim that 'way or message through the airwaves. We are challenged to encourage more people to listen so that they may grow in their faith and be change agents in the world. We aim to have a presence at secular events across the listening area where we introduce people to jesus. Partnering with local ministries and apostolates, parishes and schools. We produce and promote locally produced programs that invite, inform and inspire people to learn about jesus christ: spirit mornings, rosary, mass, holiness helpers, witness, ready to stand, bishop joensen and faith and family finance. Through conferences and events, we bring top Catholic apologists, speakers, evangelists across the listening area. We utilize several hundred volunteers to help us with our outreach efforts that span the entire coverage area. Those volunteers are managed by a capable staff of 16 full-time staff and 2 part-time staff members.
