History[]

Shalom World was launched on April 27, 2014 in North America as a vibrant, youthful, and family friendly Catholic television network catering to people of all ages.[15] It took its origin from Shalom ministry which was started in Peruvannamuzhi, a remote village in Kerala, India in 1989 as a small prayer group. This group of young men led by Benny Punnathara, under the guidance of Monsignor C. J. Varkey, sought to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ using modern means of mass communication hence setting up Shalom Media.[16] Shalom is a Hebrew word meaning ‘peace.’ Shalom ministry has been crucial to spreading the ‘Peace of Christ’ through their various publications, television programs, and other media initiatives. They are dedicated to sharing the Word of God in adherence to the doctrines and teachings of the Catholic Church. Apart from these media initiatives, the ministry also organizes retreats and leadership conferences inviting people to open their lives to the Prince of Peace, Jesus Christ.[17]

Shalom World originated from the Indian network Shalom Television, which started broadcasting in 2005 and promoted the work of local parishes as well as other faith-related programs in the Malayalam language. Shalom World, with its headquarters in Texas, USA, was established nine years later to broadcast programs in English.[18] Shalom World is furthering its boundaries under the guidance of Rev. Dr. Roy Palatty CMI, Spiritual Director, Shalom Media.[19] It broadcasts 24/7 high-definition, Catholic content that is faith-filled, virtue-building, character-based, and family-friendly.[20] On January 26, 2018, Shalom World was launched in Australia.[21]
