Bishop Dorick Wright

Work continues on the Catholic radio and media centre for the diocese of Belize City and Belmopan.

The new centre is located at the two and a half mile mark on the Northern Highway, next to the Divine Mercy church. The church is in the Belama area, on the outskirts of the capital.

The centre will have two studios, one specifically for English-speaking programming and the other for Spanish. A Catholic book ministry, with books for every age and every subject of the faith, will also occupy a section of the centre.

The book ministry will include audio/video material – CDs and DVDs. A mobile broadcast unit, to broadcast live events, will be securely parked in a garage. A spacious chapel will be located on the third floor.

Bishop Wright recently toured the construction site and received an update from project manager John Marhevka, a lay missionary for the Society of Our Lady of the Most Holy Trinity (SOLT).

Bishop Wright later affirmed his blessing and full support of the project, seeing it as important for the future of the Church’s evangelisation work in Belize.

He thanked SOLT – including spiritual director Fr Jim Blount - for undertaking the project and expressed his gratitude to volunteers, prayer intercessors, and local and foreign contributors for their involvement.

“I am very pleased with the progress of the project and I look forward to coming to work here in the future,” Bishop Wright said.
