HIS LIFE
Al was a devoted husband and father, as well as an exemplary teacher and preacher of the faith of Jesus Christ. He was a broadcaster, writer, and author who was, first of all, a missionary. He was President and CEO of Ave Maria Radio and host of “Kresta in the Afternoon.” He drew upon his unique faith background to create what was, arguably, the most fascinating — and most spiritually constructive — talk radio program on the radio in its day.
For the past 27 years, Al has committed his work of teaching and preaching to the apostolate that is Ave Maria Radio.

Above all, Ave Maria Radio seeks to keep before listeners the one thing necessary: to seek first God’s Kingdom and conform our lives to Christ by means of His Spirit.
Ave Maria Radio seeks to build the Church so that we might Bless the Nations!
HIS LEGACY
The entire Kresta family remains Al’s greatest legacy to the Church and the world, and Ave Maria Radio is the great fruit of that legacy.

Fostering an ongoing partnership with EWTN
