Notre Mission

Eternal Word Television Network is dedicated to the advancement of truth as defined by the magisterium of the Roman Catholic Church. The mission of the Eternal Word Television Network is to serve the orthodox belief and teaching of the Church as proclaimed by the Supreme Pontiff and his predecessors.

The goal of the Eternal Word Television Network is to provide the means by which the various organizations within the Church will have a nation-wide vehicle of expression. This will be provided for them without charge as long as their spirituality remains within the theological context of Mother Church. This is best evidenced by the acceptance of the Dogmas, Rules and Regulations of the Church in all matters, but especially as they relate to the topics on which their television presentation is based.

As the Eternal Word Television Network exists to provide a media for orthodox endeavors, this mission statement should be viewed as the basis of or foundation for this essential spiritual growth ministry, not as an attempt to censor any organization or individual.

À propos de nous

The Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN) was founded by Mother Mary Angelica, a Poor Clare Nun of Perpetual Adoration. From its inception, EWTN has always had the mission of proclaiming the Eternal Word, Jesus Christ, to the nations.

Through the years, as methods of media and new ways to evangelize have advanced, EWTN has used these methods, devoted to reaching people with the Gospel and the teachings of the Catholic Church, always faithful to Christ and the Magisterium.

Today, EWTN is the largest religious media network in the world. EWTN’s 11 global TV channels are broadcast in multiple languages 24 hours a day, seven days a week, to over 400 million television households in more than 160 countries and territories. EWTN platforms also include radio services transmitted through SIRIUS/XM, iHeart Radio, and over 600 domestic and international AM & FM radio affiliates; a worldwide shortwave radio service; one of the largest Catholic websites in the U.S. and second only to the Vatican worldwide; electronic and print news services, including Catholic News Agency, National Catholic Register newspaper, and several global news wire services; as well as EWTN Publishing, its book publishing division.
