New Haven, CT. October 15, 2008. The Office of Communications/TV
Ministry of the Diocese of Worcester, MA, has teamed up
with Catholic.net to broadcast daily Mass over the Internet
in an effort to broaden Catholics’ access to the daily
liturgy.
The daily Mass is broadcast each weekday morning from the
Mary, Mother of the Redeemer Chapel in the Cathedral of
St. Paul in Worcester, Massachusetts. The Mass broadcast began primarily
as a way for homebound, elderly and shut-in viewers to
be able to participate by watching from their homes.
In October
of 2006, the Mass was offered on the Internet to
viewers all over the world. Since its debut, there have
been over 25,000 viewers worldwide, including countries such as England,
Dubai, and New Zealand. Now the expectation is that over
10 thousand viewers will be reached daily through Catholic.net.
“Now we are able to impact significantly the number of
viewers that we can reach by offering the daily Mass
on Catholic.net as well as WorcesterDiocese.org” said Steve Kaufman,
manager of productions and programming for TV Ministry for the
Diocese of Worcester.
The Worcester diocese’s Mass is unique because the
celebrant is different each day. The homily is very well
prepared, with the preacher addressing the viewers directly and making
mention of them during the prayers of petition. In addition,
the TV ministry of the Diocese does a state-of-the-art postproduction.
Rosalia Tenorio, Director of Catholic.net said, “Offering the daily
Mass on our web site is a wonderful addition to
our users. We are very thankful to the diocese of
Worcester for extending their service to the Catholic.net community.”
The
daily Mass broadcast and Catholic.net, both non-profit, are funded by
contributions from viewers and visitors.
