“Catholic Destinations” host Kevin Nelson takes you on a special pilgrimage to Lourdes, France to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the apparitions of Our Lady. During the month of August, “Catholic Destinations” will feature a two-part visit to the shrine at Lourdes. Part one premieres Monday, August 4 and part two follows beginning on Monday, August 11. The shows will repeat the weeks of August 18 and 26 respectively. “Catholic Destinations” can be seen on CatholicTV Monday at 4:30 a.m., Monday at 12:00 noon, Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., Friday at 5:30 p.m., Saturday at 9:30 p.m. and Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The shows will also be available on demand at your Catholic broadband network, www.CatholicTV.com.

Jay Fadden will take CatholicTV’s signature talk show, “This Is The Day” on the road to Quebec during the station’s coverage of the Knights of Columbus annual convention. On Tuesday, August 5, “This Is The Day” will air from Quebec City at 10:30 a.m. with the Knights’ public relations director Peter Sonski as the guest. At noon, CatholicTV will air the opening Mass from the convention.
