Which show discussed Catholic settlement in Florida

..which was dedicated to St. Augustine, was the REALLY first Christian settlement in North America many years before what our history books tell us?

I am so sorry that I don't remember who the host was. It was discussed around a feast day for St. Augustine I think which would be in August. But it seemed more recent than that.

Anybody hear that? Know anything about it or where to research it? I would appreciate info, I would love to share it with my CCD class. Thanks, Paula

Thank you very much!!! That is what was being talked about on the radio, I wish I could remember who was doing the talking though so I could maybe find a copy to listen to. There were some really interesting details included. I'm sure the site you provided will give me some other places to look as well.

So, I guess this was a Catholic/Christian nation much earlier than our history books talk about very often.

Thanks again, I'll keep digging. Paula
