EWTN To Air ‘The Magnificat Day’
Live From
Philadelphia
Irondale, AL – The EWTN Global Catholic Network is
proud to partner with Magnificat and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia to bring
you “The Magnificat Day,” a celebration of the graces of the Year of Faith, on
Saturday, Nov. 9. The event, hosted by Doug Keck and Johnnette Benkovic live
from the Philadelphia Convention Center, will feature Fr. Robert Barron of the
famed “Catholicism” series and Dr. Peter John Cameron, O.P., Magnificat
Editor-in-Chief.
EWTN’s coverage will begin at 7 a.m. ET and end at 6:30 p.m. ET
with the Eucharistic Procession through the streets of
Philadelphia.
“We are thrilled to be working with Magnificat to bring EWTN’s
viewers this special day,” said EWTN President & Chief Executive Officer
Michael P. Warsaw.
EWTN Executive Vice President & COO Doug Keck agreed. “So many
of our viewers use ‘Magnificat’ magazine to follow the Mass, and have benefitted
from its many special features including the art, the prayers, the profiles of
saints, and especially the daily devotions.”
“I believe this day will be specially blessed,” said Johnnette
Benkovic, host of “Women of Grace” on EWTN. “Magnificat Foundation has been
entrusted with the U.S. pilgrimage of the relics of St. Therese of Lisieux and
her parents, Blessed Louis and Zelie Martin, and these relics will be available
for veneration at the venue. How important is the witness of
the saints to us in this our day and time! Their example inspires all of us to
be men and women of heroic virtue 'for such a time as this.'”
