Jim has also had articles about Catholic family life published in Catholic Digest Magazine.

In 2003 Jim and Cheryl incorporated their non-profit family Apostolate, Domestic Church Media Foundation, that is dedicated to promoting the cause of marriage and family life through Catholic media.  Through their Foundation they hope to expand their apostolate and continue to heed Pope John Paul II’s call to build up a civilization of love through Catholic radio and television.

In September, 2005, they opened New Jersey's first full-time Catholic radio station - 89.3 FM in Monmouth County.  They are currently negotiating the purchase of a large AM station that would cover a number of counties in New Jersey as well as parts of Bucks County and northeast Philadelphia in Pennsylvania.  It is their prayer that they will soon be able to bring Catholic radio to other parts of New Jersey, New York City and Pennsylvania.
