It’s possible, but it’s not easy. More than 40,000 of the magnets have been distributed to date. St. Gabriel Radio executive director Bill Messerly says they’re great, and effective, tools of the New Evangelization. “The Catholic Radio Association took a survey a few years ago which indicated that for every Catholic who listens to Catholic radio, there’s one non-Catholic also listening.
