About Us



The Eternal Word Television Network was founded in 1981, thanks to Mother Mary Angelica's determination, vision, and faith. Since that time, EWTN has become the largest religious media network in the world. Through God's Divine Providence and the generosity of those who support EWTN's apostolic work by their prayers and donations, EWTN reaches around the world with the message of the Gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church.

In 1996, Mother Angelica hosted the first EWTN Religious Catalogue program. She began by saying, "Welcome. I've been waiting for years for this." Her message was that EWTN Religious Catalogue would offer good books, beautiful artwork, statues, rosaries and many other "holy reminders" designed to strengthen the faith of EWTN viewers. Mother's prayer then, and ours today, is that EWTN Religious Catalogue will help you and your loved ones become holy.

Religious Catalogue is a supporting organization of EWTN and was established as a service to its viewers. An order to Religious Catalogue cannot replace your donation to EWTN's apostolic work. Thank you for your order and for your support of EWTN.
