They say God works in mysterious ways, but no one would have predicted He would choose a Poor Clare nun with no broadcasting experience to build a media empire.

EWTN’s future foundress was born on April 20, 1923. Young Rita Rizzo experienced two miracles that would shape her later life. Through them, she realized God loved her personally, and she began to love him back. In 1944, she entered a convent and became Sister Mary Angelica. After a series of crippling ailments, she promised God if He would allow her to walk again, she would start a monastery in the South.

In those early days, survival was a challenge for Our Lady of the Angels monastery in Irondale, Alabama. To support their work, the sisters sold fishing lures and roasted peanuts, and Mother Angelica gave parlor talks, using her wit and charm to win over the audience. As she gained popularity, Mother was frequently invited to speak to groups or on radio. But it was on a visit to a Baptist run television station in Chicago where she famously declared “Lord, I gotta have one of these.”

Mother Mary Angelica of the AnnunciationPCPA^[3] (born Rita Antoinette Rizzo; April 20, 1923 – March 27, 2016), commonly known as Mother Angelica, was an American Roman Catholic nun of the Poor Clares of Perpetual Adoration. She was best known for the television show Mother Angelica Live. She was the founder of the international broadcast cable television network Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN), which is purported to be "the world's largest religious media network". She also founded the radio network WEWN. EWTN became a voice for Catholics worldwide.

In 1981, Angelica started broadcasting religious programs from a converted garage in Birmingham, Alabama. Over the next twenty years, she developed a media network that included radio, TV, and internet channels as well as print media. Angelica hosted shows on EWTN until she had a stroke in 2001. She continued to live in the cloistered monastery in Hanceville, Alabama, until her death in 2016.^[4]
