The Archdiocese of Philadelphia is celebrating the 10th anniversary of its Hispanic Radio Show titled La Voz de Dios en las Voces de Nuetros Pueblos, which means The Voice of God in the Voices of the People. The 30 minute Spanish-language radio program is an evangelical tool for the Church delivering a spiritual and pastoral message to the Hispanic community.
