"In our earnest desire to sustain the ongoing evangelization programs of the Church... and cognizant of the power of all the means of social communications for the mission of new evangelization, we hereby appoint Rev. Fr. Roy M. Bellen as President and Chief Executive Officer of Radio Veritas," the statement reads.

The appointment was announced by the Archdiocese's Office of Communications, underscoring the church's commitment to harnessing the media's power in meeting the faithful's spiritual needs and responding to the demands of the times.
