Our Good News Mission:
While “Good News Ministries” is a common name, we uniquely provide the true teachings of the Catholic Church and Holy Scripture in a way that increases your faith and empowers to you grow stronger spiritually. Good News Ministries is an antidote to the challenging times we live in.
Our Motto:
Keep Christ at the center, the Word of Truth in your heart, and the traditional teachings of the Catholic Church as the guardian of your soul.
Good News Ministries’ most popular feature:
The daily Catholic Good News Reflections make the scriptures meaningful
for your everyday life. Subscribe free by email and text message. They are life-enriching, short and thought-provoking messages about the readings from the Catholic Mass, always in compliance with the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.
Our Availability:
We’ve been pioneering the use of technology since 1996 to deliver Catholic faith-building services. With the vision to identify how to use it early and often, we have been successfully giving Jesus Christ to people who are not otherwise reached by traditional methods, on a global scale.

We change the world by changing hearts for Christ:
We inspire Catholics to become fully alive as Christians, growing in holiness, deepening their prayer life, and developing a personal relationship with Jesus who gives us salvation and with the Holy Spirit who empowers us to live the way Christ calls us to live.
First we help Catholics to discover how passionately Jesus cares about them. Then we teach them to share their faith by using the gifts and talents and experiences and skills they already have. Join with us in renewing the face of the earth!
See “Succeed in mission work without leaving home” (how to worship God more deeply by giving of yourself).
We teach the 3 callings of all Catholics:
Every Catholic can be activated in the ministry of evangelization!
- The Call to Holiness
Who you are as a Catholic Christian: Because of your baptism and your belief in Christ, you are a saint who can grow in holiness daily through the Holy Spirit’s power. - The Call to Mission
Identify your divine purpose: You have gifts and talents that can attract others to Christ. - The Call to Change the World
How to evangelize by living the Good News: Grow stronger in living and sharing the unconditional love of Jesus in everyday life and in the parish.
We teach from:
- Scripture
- The Nicene Creed
- The Sermon on the Mount
- The Lord’s Prayer
- The Catechism of the Catholic Church
- Decree on the Apostolate of Lay People of Vatican Council II
- On Evangelization in the Modern World by Pope Paul VI
- Pope Saint John Paul II’s writings on the Eucharist
- Pope Francis’ encyclicals
- Personal experience
Hear the story of Good News Ministries from an interview of co-founder Terry Modica on her diocese’s radio station.
Good News Ministries of Tampa Bay was founded in 1995 by Terry and Ralph Modica in the Diocese of St. Petersburg, Florida. Our staff and volunteer team serve from across the US and around the world. The Executive Director Terry Modica is an international speaker and author. (Ralph unfortunately passed away in 2024.)

Why we are passionate about our mission
There are too many people who are turning their backs on Christ and Church and their own salvation. The numbers have been increasing and the world is worse off for it. Meanwhile, there are too few passionately committed disciples of Christ embracing the mission with their whole heart and soul and life. If we allow Good News Ministries to slow down or shrink (there is no such thing as plateauing and staying there), we sin greatly and we will be accountable for the souls that we could have reached but did not. (Wow, ouch! Imagine dying and discovering how many souls failed to reach heaven because of you.)
The word that the Lord has given to us and confirmed and re-confirmed down through the years is that we must reach out and find people who are not being served well by their local churches, and those who are not interested in going to church, and those who are hurting and seeking the Lord. Since 1999, we have relied heavily on the written word via email broadcasts and several websites, but younger generations are not using these tools like older generations do.
God is a God of more. There is much, much more that needs to be done for his kingdom in this world today. So much darkness, yet so few are spreading the Light of Christ! The founding director, Terry Modica, says, “I will work hard to spread that light all the way to my dying breath.”
The question is, can we afford to keep doing this work? After going deep into prayer about it, the Lord reminded me: With the current level of faithlessness in the world, we cannot afford to not do this.
Please pray about becoming part of the Good News Ministries team one way or another. Will you give God your enthusiastic, whole-hearted yes?
