I just feel that Catholic Television is a blessing from God. I love to hear the stories from all the priests.
Rev. Jeffrey D. Tudgay, Pastor, Cathedral of Saint Peter, Scranton
The Daily Mass from the Cathedral and other Diocesan events provide the formation and provide the sustenance and the Word of God for many folks who are at home, who maybe can’t participate in the active dimension of the church but are still able to take up the great responsibility of being able to pray for the life of the Church. CTV is essential for that.
