FOT’s first anniversary broadcast tomorrow 9 a.m. CDT

Attorney Rick McConville

Tuesday we celebrate our first full year on air as a half-hour program.  Joining us in studio for our celebration, and contributing to our discussion of recent cases involving people of faith, will be our chief underwriter Attorney Rick McConville, of Coppola, McConville, Coppola, Hockenberg & Scalise PC in West Des Moines. Rick is an old friend of Deacon Mike, they both attended St. Theresa grade school, Dowling Catholic, and Creighton University within a few years of one another.

Additionally, joining us by phone will be Attorney Frank Harty who is local counsel with the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty representing a Mennonite couple in Grimes, Dick and Betty Odgaard, who have refused on religious grounds to rent their facility out for a same-sex wedding. Frank will be giving us an update on that case. In addition we’ll be discussing the fall-out from some other news including the removal of a verse of Psalms from a Cedar Rapids fire truck, the Satanic Black Mass at Harvard, the latest in the abortion wars and may other matters of interest.  

So tune-in Tuesday morning at 9 (CDT) to listen to Deacon Mike, Gina Noll, and Rick McConville discuss all the latest legal news that affect people of faith.  The program will be re-broadcast tomorrow night at 9 p.m. on Iowa Catholic Radio 1150 AM; 88.5 & 94.5 FM and streaming live on IowaCatholicRadio.com.  And don’t forget to “like” us on Facebook and sign up to follow us on Twitter and subscribe to this blog; these are great ways to keep up with the news between programs.
