KHSS is a full-time Catholic radio station in Walla Walla, Washington, USA. We are members of the Catholic Radio Association and the Lay Catholic Broadcasting Network. We are an affiliate of the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), but we also broadcast programs from the Ave Maria satellite network and from our own library of Catholic material. At KHSS, we believe that radio is one of the most powerful tools of evangelization available to us today. We are dedicated to reclaiming our culture for Christ by sanctifying the airwaves with the truth of the Catholic faith. KHSS exists in response to the call of the Holy Father for a "new springtime" of evangelization. Pope John Paul II saw the mass media as an important part of this mission. History KHSS was purchased in 1998 by Two Hearts Communications, an LLC formed by Rod and Kimberly Fazzari in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary for the purpose of bringing Catholic radio to the Walla Walla valley in rural southeastern Washington State. An agreement to purchase KHSS from prior ownership was reached in the spring of 1997. At the time, KHSS was a financially troubled, commercial classical-music radio station that was in the midst of a transition to an oldies format. We had a different plan for the station's future, however. As we had felt called to start a Catholic radio station in Walla Walla, the purchase of KHSS was the first step. The second step was the acquisition of the necessary equipment to receive Catholic programming from EWTN in Birmingham, Alabama, accomplished during the fall of 1997. At long last, on the second Sunday of Advent, December 7, 1997, KHSS began broadcasting Catholic programming. The initial broadcast lasted just four hours, beginning at 5:00 AM with a live Mass from Our Lady of the Angels Monastery at EWTN. The lineup included the Mass, the rosary, Life on the Rock, the Journey Home, and Our Father's Plan, a program by Scott Hahn and Jeff Cavins. Durin
