About Ave Maria in the Afternoon
Ave Maria in the Afternoon is Ave Maria Radio’s flagship afternoon program, carrying forward the rich legacy of Kresta in the Afternoon while charting a bold, hope‑filled path for the next generation of Catholic listeners. Hosted by Dr. Marcus Peter, the show offers thoughtful, substantive, and deeply Catholic conversations that help listeners live their faith with conviction in a complicated world.
A Legacy Built on Truth and Charity
For more than two decades, Kresta in the Afternoon shaped the landscape of Catholic media. Under the leadership of Al Kresta, the program became a trusted national forum for exploring the intersection of faith and culture—fearlessly engaging ideas, elevating the dignity of the human person, and inviting listeners to think more deeply about what it means to follow Christ.
That legacy continues.
