One year after his passing on November 21, 2022, Eros Bacoccina's legacy as a dedicated pastor and pioneering broadcaster continues to resonate. His journey, beginning in Italy and culminating in his adopted home of California, exemplifies the transformative power of faith. Bacoccina's spiritual hunger led him beyond the familiar confines of Catholicism to a profound personal relationship with God after encountering Pastor Amelio Giannetta and his La Buona Novella radio programme. This encounter ignited Bacoccina's passion for spreading the Gospel through radio, a medium that allowed him to connect with Italians worldwide.

Bacoccina's commitment to his calling went beyond mere translation; he sought to provide theological clarity and accessibility to his listeners, even when faced with the controversial doctrines of Family Radio's Harold Camping. This dedication is evident in his decision to continue La Buona Novella independently after departing from Family Radio, ensuring the message of hope reached a global audience. Bacoccina's impact extended beyond the airwaves, touching the lives of his congregation, family, and all who knew him. His story serves as a poignant reminder of the power of faith to transcend borders and leave an indelible mark on the world.
