MEDIA ADVISORY

IRONDALE, AL (August 24, 2011) - Do you secretly wish you could meet a saint- or perhaps someone who may well be on their way to sainthood? Then tune into EWTN Global Catholic Network this September. Here's a sneak peek at September's premieres: (Please see www.ewtn.com for more information.)

• Saints Alive! What if 10 of history's greatest saints returned from heaven to be interviewed and questioned about some of the most important issues of our time? That's the premise of this show. You'll be captivated by their holy wit and wisdom! Airs 10:30 a.m. ET, Sundays; 6 p.m. ET, Mondays; 4 a.m. ET, Tuesdays; 10 p.m. ET, Wednesdays; and 4:30 p.m. ET, Saturdays.

• Catholic Lives Ireland: The all-star line-up includes Irish luminaries - and saints in the making -- from all walks of life. There's Richard Moore, founder of "Children in the Crossfire," who struggled to forgive after being blinded as a child by a British soldier's plastic bullet during Northern Ireland's infamous "troubles." There's Sister Miriam Duggan, a gynecologist whose chastity program transformed Uganda into Africa's success story in the fight against HIV/Aids. There's Mickey Harte, three-time winner of Ireland's prestigious "Sam Maguire Cup" and manager of the renowned County Tyrone Gaelic Football Team. And that's not even the half of it! This must-see series airs at 5:30 p.m. ET, Mondays and 4 a.m. ET, Thursdays.

• Saints of China: Martyrs of the Middle Kingdom: How do you grow a Church when the government wants to control it? This series, hosted by Anthony Clark, assistant professor of East Asian history at Whitworth University in Spokane, Washington, examines the history of the Catholic Church in China, from the Jesuit missions to the massive growth of Catholic missions before the Communist government came to power in 1949. Learn about the lives of Chinese martyrs, and the state of the Catholic Church in China under the Communist government. Airs 11 p.m. ET, Sundays; and 2:30 a.m. ET, Fridays.

• Mary, Mother of the Philippines: Some believe that no country outside of Italy has more beautiful churches and shrines dedicated to Our Lady than the Philippines. Are they right? Join Fr. Melvin Castro's tour of these holy sites at 2:30 a.m. ET and 1:30 p.m. ET, Thursdays.

• Crash Course in the Saints: EWTN favorites, Fr. John Trigilio and Fr. Ken Brighenti, explore the lives of the lives of the saints in this new series. Airs 5:30 p.m. ET, Sundays; and 5:30 a.m. ET and 10:30 p.m. ET, Wednesdays.

• Living the Discerning Life: The Spiritual Teaching of St. Ignatius of Loyola: This saint's spiritual exercises are one of the most famous methods of discerning God's call - whether you are a religious or laity. If you've always wanted to learn more, but haven't had the time, this is the series for you. Airs 8 p.m. ET, Sundays; 1 p.m. ET, Mondays; and 5 a.m. ET, Fridays.

• The Heavens Proclaim the Glory of God: Fr. Robert Spitzer examines the physical evidence - and metaphysical premises for - the existence of God. Airs 3:30 a.m. ET, Mondays; and 5:30 p.m. ET, Fridays.
