Statement of Michael P. Warsaw, President and Chief Executive Officer of EWTN Global Catholic Network regarding Father Benedict Groeschel:
To regular viewers of EWTN, it has been evident for some time that Father Benedict's health has been declining. For more than a year, the Network has been in discussions with both Father and his Community about his capacity to continue hosting Sunday Night Prime.
This is the reason that the program moved from a live to a pre-recorded format last year.
In more recent months Father Benedict’s decline has accelerated.
After consultation with EWTN and the Community of the Franciscan Friars of the Renewal, Father Benedict has decided that it is now time to step away from the program.
The Sunday Night Prime program will continue and will be hosted by other priests of the CFR community.
