Our Mission Statement
The Office of Radio & Television's mission is to evangelize, educate, inform and inspire through the use of all available modern communications media. The Office of Radio & Television is dedicated to spreading the Word and "Good News" of God's love and compassion to all. It accomplishes this mission by providing values oriented programs of professional quality to all in the archdiocesan family and to families throughout Connecticut. Our programs reach millions of people, both Catholics and non-Catholics, through our radio and television production and distribution facilities.
Established in 1953, the Office of Radio & Television, a/k/a Office of Communications, is an agency of the Archdiocese of Hartford. Msgr. John P. Wodarski was appointed as its first director to meet the demands for a diocesan representative to the media in Connecticut. As the importance and influence of mass media upon society and the church grew, so did the mission of the Office of Radio & Television.
Today, under the direction of Fr. John P. Gatzak, the office's fourth director, the Office of Radio & Television provides access to all archdiocesan events and news worthy church information to Connecticut's major radio and television stations and networks.
The Office of Radio & Television produces weekly radio and daily and weekly television programs that are broadcast on WELI-AM, WJMJ-FM, WTIC-AM, and WTXX-TV
The CW20.
The office's major television program is the daily television Mass, "The Celebration of the Eucharist." The daily Mass is broadcast live Monday through Friday and on tape delay on Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. on WTXX-TV. Our television programs, in addition to the television Mass, include "Crossroads Magazine,"
and "On This Rock - MVP."
The office's radio programs include "Bishop's Corner," "Close Up on Faith," "Sabbath Message," and "SonRise Magazine."
