The Celebration of the Eucharist, daily television Mass, 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. As a thank you and in gratitude to those viewers who donate to support the television Mass, we include their prayer request for a loved one or special intention during the television Mass, if so desired.  We believe that there is power in prayer and know that with the multiplication of all our voices who watch the television Mass on behalf of all those in need, our loving God will generously respond with his blessings. When we publicly share the name of a person for whom we pray, it is an invitation to thousands to pray with us on behalf of that person.

Priests from throughout the Archdiocese of Hartford, and on occasion from the Dioceses of Bridgeport and Norwich celebrate the television Mass on a rotating basis.

"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.  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.

The television Mass chapel brings back the lost memories of the old Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Hartford, that was destroyed by fire on December 31,1956.  Only a few of the original 72 magnificent stained glass windows, created by German and Austrian artists of the famous Tyroles Art Glass Company of Innsbruck, Austria, survived the fire.  They had been gathering dust in the new Cathedral of Saint Joseph basement for 50 years!  Some of the survivors have become the focal point of the television Mass chapel.  The remnants of fire, smoke and soot, dust and grime, were removed by the craftsman of St. Joseph's Workshop in Waterbury, to reveal their vibrant colors and intricate designs.  No repairs were made... any broken or missing glass was left as is.  Special colored gels were used for any missing glass.  The cleaned windows were then set in wooden panels of cherry, crafted to form the walls of the television Mass chapel.
