I recently watched on EWTN a program about Father Patrick Peyton, the Family Rosary priest. There were a lot of clips of him with the Hollywood celebrities he befriended. One of them was Jane Wyman.
I know that Maureen Reagan was Catholic-I saw a news story of her funeral Mass when she died.
Maybe Michael Reagan is a revert…

On EWTN the other day they had Michael as a guest. Jane Wyman was a very devout Catholic and so is her son. He left the faith a little as a child but came back to the Church. He has written a book about it called Adopted twice or something like that. His brother Ron is an Atheist

Anyone have a link to the show that Michael was on? I cannot find it, and I missed the actual show. The one I have watched did not have him on. Egypt, then Lila Rose, then The Rite were the only things discussed on the program.He just said on Raymond Arroyo’s show that he is a recent revert.
Thanks.

Jane Wyman may have been a devout Catholic in her later years, and she did raise Maureen and Michael as Catholic, but the number of divorces she had indicates that she was not following the teachings of the Church in many ways, including divorcing Ronald Reagan after the death of their third child at birth or shortly after.
Maureen was Catholic.
Ronald himself, Nancy, Patti and Ronnie were never Catholic.
Michael has several books out that talk about his life:

According to Wikipedia, Miss Wyman entered the Church in 1953 and she became a Dominican (though it is not clear as to which branch of the Dominicans that she belonged. My guess is that she was a Tertiary).

I finally heard him on EWTN today. He said that Jane Wyman, Maureen and he entered the Church in 1954, on Dec 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception., and I believe that he said she was buried in the (I am sure he said Benedictine, but have found other places that say Dominican) Habit. His daughter teaches in a Catholic school, and started RCIA in order to learn more about the Faith. His wife took it with her, and both came into the Church (I missed when this happened…) and as a result, he returned to the Church as well.
The program airs again on EWTN on Monday AM and Mon night, I believe. It is not the video that shows on the EWTN website at this time on The World Over with Raymond Arroyo. I am hoping it will be on after Monday night.
God bless!

If you miss the encore presentation on EWTN itslef, you can also see it on their YouTube channel.
That’s how I get to see past programs, since I have no TV.

Michael Reagan is Catholic. I didn’t know that either!Just out of curiosity, I thought I saw Michael Reagan cross himself at his father’s casket.
Anyone know if he is Catholic? I read that President Reagan’s father was a Catholic, but apparently didn’t raise the President to be so.
Did you see the great interview he did with Raymond Arroyo on The World Over Live?

If memory serves, Michael Reagan was adopted durimg Pres. Reagan’s marriage to Jane Wyman, who was a Catholic. Michael and Maureen were raised Catholic.

Yes, I watched the video that was there, but it is not the program that Michael Reagan was on. I also checked YouTube, but again, not the program that Reagan was on. It must be at least after all of the encore’s are done before it changes.

Michael Reagan’s radio show is no longer on in this area, but when it was, I used to listen
to it. I remember how he talked about his Christianity and his mother’s Catholicism and
why he had left the Catholic Church. There was a bit of anger when he spoke, but I remember thinking, “If your mother was as devout a Catholic as you say, you’ll be
back.” (in the Catholic Church) As a mother who prays for her children’s reversion, I know
his mother never quit praying for him.
Someday, I would like to hear his daughter’s conversion story. She appears to have started the ball rolling for her mom’s conversion and then her dad’s reversion.
Anyway, I was so excited to hear he is “home”. I was listening to a commercial (about
The World Over) about the guests, but I thought it was only to talk about Ronald Reagan.
So when I watched (Ronald Reagan is one of my “most admired” persons) I was doubly
pleased.
