By 1976, Mother Angelica had written 50 booklets and recorded 150 audio cassette teaching tapes. But that was only the beginning of what the Lord would do through her.
When Mother Angelica was given the opportunity to make video tape programs for television, she realized the impact television could have in spreading the Faith. Converting a planned garage behind the monastery into a television studio, Mother Angelica founded the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). EWTN began airing programs on August 15, 1981 via satellite to cable companies and home satellite dishes.
In 1992, Mother Angelica founded WEWN to broadcast Catholic programs world-wide via short-wave radio, inspired by the prophecy of Revelation 14:6 — "Then I saw another Angel, flying high overhead, sent to announce the Good News of Eternity to all who live on the earth, every nation, race, language, and tribe."

- As Mother Angelica has reminded us so often, the
history of EWTN "isn't what we've done, it's how we've done it." Giving
all the credit to Divine Providence, Mother didn't have a business plan
when she powered up the first transmitter in 1981.
- Given its humble beginnings, few predicted EWTN
would survive, let alone become the world’s largest religious media
Network. With no television experience and $200 in the bank, Mother
Angelica began EWTN in her monastery garage. Over the years, with trust
in God's Providence, EWTN has
grown to reach millions of souls around
the world, bringing them the Eternal Word.
- During those first few years of EWTN, many in the
secular world did not know what to make of the first Catholic TV
Network. Headlines from the New York Times to the Wall Street Journal
called EWTN "A Heavenly Network," and "A New TV Habit." But as the news
media and the Network’s growing number of devoted viewers soon
realized, EWTN was not just another channel. It was and is so much
more.
- As more visitors began coming to the Monastery and
to the television network, Mother Angelica realized the need for holy
priests to hear Confessions, celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass,
and give spiritual talks. In response to this need, she founded the Franciscan
Missionaries of the Eternal Word, an Order of priests and brothers
who live a Franciscan, Eucharistic life dedicated to bringing souls
back to the Church.
- In 1987 EWTN began broadcasting 24 hours-a-day, with a new emphasis on live events. As the Network began to cover papal visits and other Church events, EWTN made a commitment to provide extensive coverage of ceremonies from the Vatican that no other television network was willing to do. The Network also added to its lineup beatifications and canonizations, live daily Mass and holy day events from major shrines around the world.
