About this app

Radio Maria Ireland is an Irish organisation staffed by dedicated professional and volunteer staff. It operates as a not-for-profit, non-commercial, internet-streaming radio station. Our goal is to expand our broadcasting capabilities through DAB, cable and satellite, in order to reach a wider audience.
Though not directly connected with the Roman Catholic Church, Radio Maria operates as an instrument of the Church and as a tool for evangelization. It is obedient to the Magisterium of the Holy Catholic Church.
Our aim is to bring Christ into every Irish home through home-produced programmes that serve the spiritual, educational and social needs of listeners – both at home and abroad – while having a profound respect for the specific diversity and richness of each ethnic group.
Radio Maria Ireland in a spirit of total trust in Divine providence, relies totally on the financial support of its listeners and friends. Advertising or sponsorship is not permitted. Radio Maria Ireland is not subsidized or funded by the Catholic Church. This model has proved successful for the 75 Radio Maria stations that currently operate around the world.
The umbrella body of Radio Maria, the World Family of Radio Maria (WFRM), has its legal headquarters in Rome, Italy. The administrative and technical office are based in Casciago, near Milan. WFRM shares its expertise and know-how with Radio Maria Ireland in order to help it achieve its mission. This enables us to ensure that our office and broadcasting facilities operate to the highest professional, technical and editorial standards.

Ratings and reviews

Fantastic app with great variety of content including regular prayer times, rosaries, local mass, music and lots of interesting interviews and chats. Live 24/7. I have learnt more about my religion with their chatachesis program and many others. Petitions can be sent in and prayed for on air. The number of podcasts available is a great and growing resource. Well done Radio Maria I enjoy listening every day from my phone and it's great to have in the car.

As an Australian of Irish descent, it's a delight to listen to all of the various accents of the presenters. The teachings, prayers and music are edifying and uplifting and provide great company during the day. The app is handy as I can listen anywhere, either to the live broadcast or one of the many podcasts.

Something completely different from mainstream media. It's like a breath of fresh air. Guaranteed, not every song or show will suit everyone (don't worry the music choices are far better than the rubbish aired on most stations) but there is something here for everyone. I couldn't recommend this enough. Also can't wait until you broadcast on fm!
