A Caller’s Legacy of Gratitude (Family Rosary Across America)

Smitty from Beaver Dam, Virginia, called back in to the Family Rosary Across America to speak with Father Rocky and Maggie. He began with a warm prayer intention for Maggie, her husband Joe, and their son Michael Joseph, asking God to help them find a home.

Then Smitty shared a prayer of for something personal and practical: that everybody listening use Catholic Legacy to make their wills. After having spent hundreds of dollars making his last will, Smitty explaining that Catholic Legacy made the process simple and free for him!

More than that, Smitty revealed why it mattered so much. After years of prayers from Father Rocky, Maggie, and the Relevant Radio family, he wanted to give back. In gratitude, he said he had arranged for the proceeds from his home and property to go to Relevant Radio.

Father Rocky responded with warmth and humor: “Oh God bless you! Well, we hope you live to be a hundred.”

Smitty’s call was a reminder that prayer bears fruit in generous hearts. His words showed how gratitude, faith, and thoughtful planning can become a lasting gift for the Church and for others.
