Tom Peterson founder and presdient of Catholics Come Home and Virtue Media spoke with Bill and Rich as well. He shared with us how both of these outreaches are a response to John Paul II's call for the lay people to harness the power of media. Virtue Media is focused on awareness of the sanctity of human life as well as providing a hotline for pregnant women. Catholics Come Home is an invitation back into the Church as well as an invitation to check out the Catholic Faith.
Virtue Media's ads air on national as well as local television. Tom told us that they get 22,000 calls a month at their pregnancy hotline from women who have seen their ads. He challenges us all to think of how many more people we could reach if the funding was there. With Catholics Come Home, Tom told us that you can bring someone back to the Church for as little as $1.67.
