Our Vision
To become a global media leader focused on telling stories of hope and inspiration that bring people
closer to Christ and the Catholic faith.
Our Values
Salt + Light is dedicated to being – and helping others become – the salt of the earth and the
light of the world. Utilizing the power and popularity of television, radio, internet and other social
communication media, the fruits of our work represent a powerful response to Pope John Paul II’s call
to embrace technology to share the Gospel message and teachings of the Church. We are determined
to bring light to our world through mass and modern media.
Salt + Light products serve as a place of retreat and faith connection. With a strong focus on the
teachings of the Church, we believe in bringing people together in prayer and devotion, celebration,
education and entertainment. We are dedicated to offering programs that are thought-provoking,
refreshing, and always rooted in our Catholic faith.
The ministry of Salt + Light would not exist today were it
not for the spiritual and financial support of St. Joseph
Communications founder Gaetano Gagliano. Read more...
