WHEC-TV Mass for shut-ins to be available on Courier website

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

WHEC-TV and the Catholic Courier are announcing a partnership designed to make the Rochester NBC affiliate’s Sunday Mass more broadly available throughout the 12-county Diocese of Rochester.

For more than 50 years WHEC has televised a Sunday liturgy, principally celebrated over the past two decades by Father Thomas Mull, pastor of Our Lady of Peace Parish in Geneva. Commonly known as the “Mass for shut-ins,” the broadcast made it possible for people who are physically unable to get to church to participate in the liturgy long before the coronavirus pandemic sparked a proliferation of Masses available online.

WHEC currently broadcasts the liturgy at 5:30 a.m. Sundays, repeating it at 8 a.m. on its digital MeTV channel (over-the-air channel 10.2 and cable channel 1245), and streaming it on WHEC.com.
