About the television Mass
The Celebration of the Eucharist is produced by the Office of Radio & Television. The daily televised Mass reaches out to the homebound, and especially those who have been disconnected from their local parish communities through illness or age. Its purpose is to provide for the spiritual well-being of those who may need the prayers of the church community at challenging times in their lives. Viewers send in their requests for prayers for the living or deceased and special intentions. The names of those remembered are scrolled at the beginning of Mass, and a limited number are included during the Prayer of the Faithful, thus allowing the viewer to take an active role in the celebration of Mass. Priests from throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford, as well as priests from the Diocese of Norwich celebrate the Mass on a rotating basis. Past winner of a Catholic Communication Campaign "Proclaim Award" for excellence in television programming, the television Mass is viewed throughout Connecticut, as well as parts of Massachusetts and New York. The Mass is broadcast everyday at 10:00 a.m. on WTXX-TV and can also be seen Saturday and Sunday at 5:00 a.m. on WTXX-TV.Broadcast air time for The Celebration of the Eucharist is made possible by Counterpoint Communications, Inc. Studio facilities and broadcast equipment for The Celebration of the Eucharist are provided by Counterpoint Communications, Inc.
New television Mass Chapel Set
"Go forth and build my Church." How many people throughout the course of Christian history have heard the Lord say "build my Church"; from the Apostles to Saint Francis of Assisi to us today, we are called to build up the Church. A different opportunity awaits us; however, in that through the television Mass we reach more people than the Apostles or Saint Francis could have hoped to reach in a lifetime. This makes our responsibility all the greater in building up the Lord's Church. An opportunity awaits us to build a new television Mass chapel and to bring back to life a part of the history of the Church of the Archdiocese of Hartford that was once consumed by fire. The new television Mass chapel debuted and was dedicated on Pentecost Sunday, June 4, 2006, during a special one hour Mass presided by Archbishop Henry J. Mansell.
