Dear Mary TV Family, sailing with Our Lady upon the digital sea!
Thank you for your generous response to Mary TV’s initial matching grant appeal. You made it a resounding success. See: https://marytv.tv/studio-fundraiser-appeal/
Mary TV’s television studio (above) is now ready to be equipped. Our engineering room, control room, elevator, stairs, bathrooms, etc. – our entire facility in Medjugorje is finished and ready to become operational. All we need is the equipment!
This will be expensive. But, by the grace of God, a generous donor has just come forward with a new $85,000 matching grant. If Mary TV receives $85,000 in donations – that amount will be doubled! And $170,000 is what we need! (See PS)
Our technical team from the US intends on traveling to Medjugorje later this month to work with our team there to equip the studio, engineering and control rooms and install an array of modern technologies.
Thank you to all of you who have been supporting Mary TV through so many years. We’re making one final push! 2019 is an important year in Our Lady’s plan.

Thank you and God bless you1
