The 15th Anniversary Gala of Array of Hope was a night that celebrated faith, evangelization, and the joy of sharing the Gospel through media and the arts. Held in New Jersey, the event brought together Catholics from across the country to honor those who are using their talents and resources to build up the Church and inspire renewed faith in Christ.
Among the evening’s highlights was an introductory address by Morning Air host John Morales of Relevant Radio, who shared a message centered on living the faith with courage and conviction in today’s culture. Morales, whose work on Morning Air reaches millions of listeners nationwide, reflected on how Catholic media serves as a vital instrument for evangelization, offering clarity and hope to a world in need of truth.
Array of Hope, the host ministry, has spent the past fifteen years using film, music, and live events to reveal the beauty of the Catholic faith and lead souls to encounter Jesus Christ. Through its productions and outreach, the ministry continues to engage families and young people with an authentic presentation of the Gospel.

The gala featured the presentation of the St. John Paul II “Threshold of Hope” Award to Thomas Monaghan, founder of Ave Maria University and Legatus, and former owner of Domino’s Pizza and the Detroit Tigers. Monaghan, a longtime advocate for Catholic education and business leadership grounded in faith, was recognized for his decades of service to the Church and his tireless commitment to forming future generations of Catholic leaders.
The evening stood as a testament to the shared mission between Array of Hope, Relevant Radio, and the many lay apostolates that are striving to bring Christ to the world through creative and faithful means. Both organizations embody the New Evangelization envisioned by St. John Paul II, harnessing modern media to communicate eternal truths.
