The Station of the Cross 6325 Sheridan Drive Williamsville, NY 14221 716-839-6117 877-888-6279 Fax 716-839-0400 877-711-8500 Email to: info@thestationofthecross.com Web site: www.thestationofthecross.com 92.9 FM Catholic Radio is coming to Rochester! The Station of the Cross needs your generous help today. Please read on Dear Listener, An outstanding opportunity has arisen for The Station of the Cross to purchase an FM radio station at 92.9 FM! It will not affect our 1460 AM broadcast; rather, it will provide the same great programming with the sound quality of an FM station and strong coverage during the overnight hours. The current 92.9FM is a low power station in Rochester and by moving and reengineering the station we are able to increase the power 25 times. The new signal will cover 500,000 people in the surrounding areas of Rochester (as shown on the enclosed map). We just received approval from the FCC to move forward with this project and in order to take advantage of this great opportunity, we will need many of our devoted listeners to help us purchase the equipment and license by March 1. Together we can make this $100,000 project a reality! We are asking you to please pray and, if inspired, make a sacrificial, onetime gift to help us reach our goal of $100,000 by March 1. A pledge card is enclosed for your convenience. We re asking for substantial, one-time donations, which make this a great opportunity for you and other members of your Catholic groups and Bible studies to come together to help us obtain the funds needed. Thank you for your generous support for this project! Please pray for its success so we may reach even more souls with the life-giving Truths of the Catholic Faith. If you have any questions about The Station of the Cross or the new 92.9 station, feel free to call me at 716-818-1828 or go online at www.whicradio.com Thank you and may God abundantly bless you for your generosity. Sincerely, James Wright, President Holy Family Communications A listener supported, 501 (c) 3 not-for-profit organization Proclaiming the fullness of Truth with clarity and charity
