St. Maximilian Kolbe did a test broadcast in Poland in early December of 1938 and was heard from the station whose call-sign was spelled Stacja Polska 3 Radio Niepokalanów (SP3RN). He had a passion for using the technology of his day in order to reach souls. It is in that same spirit that SP3RN was developed as a social network for Catholics. Features include: activity stream, conversations, groups, pages, events, polls, videos and audio. There is also the ability to switch between a light and dark mode.
