From broadcast success to Gospel Mission
How Mater Media began.
For over twenty years, Zip Rzeppa was a colorful television sportscaster in Boston, Cincinnati, and St. Louis.
By every worldly measure, he had achieved success, recognition, and influence.
Yet something was missing.
Though a practicing Catholic, Zip felt called to do more for Christ.
He began serving in inner-city neighborhoods, evangelizing door-to-door….
“We must use all modern means and technologies to spread the faith.”
- St. Maximilian Kolbe
