PLEASE HELP THE ST MARY’S RADIO MASS BROADCAST ON PULSE FM CONTINUE!
The Pulse is a volunteer-run community group, and relies on help and support from the community. They are now needing our help and support, due to recent changes in structure.
For a long time, Geelong’s community radio station, 94.7 The Pulse, has been broadcasting the weekly Mass from St Mary’s at 10am on Sunday mornings. This is indeed a great service for those who, for various reasons, can’t make it to Mass at the Basilica in person, and those who have no access to Mass online.
The broadcast has recently been endangered due to the lack of available Mass editors (@St Mary’s) and funding. If you would like the Mass to continue, we invite and encourage you to subscribe to The Pulse or make a tax-deductible donation. Every little bit helps.
Call The Pulse between 10am and 4pm on weekdays on 5222 5947 or visit the website ww.947thepulse.com.
