TV Mass Apostolate

May, 2020

Churches throughout the Diocese of Fargo are opening up for group worship of Sunday and daily Masses with guidelines in place to help prevent the spread of COVID-19. The Diocese of Fargo continues to sponsor a pre-recorded broadcast of the Sunday Mass by the Passionist Community. Or, you may prefer to watch one of the many available Masses now live-streamed directly from the diocese or your home parish. 

Instructions for making an act of spiritual communion may be found on the diocesan homepage.

TV Mass Apostolate is a weekly opportunity for homebound and infirm individuals to join with others through prayer in celebrating the beauty and gift of the sacrifice of the Mass.

The TV Mass can be viewed each Sunday on the following stations:
     10:30 a.m. on WDAY ch. 6 - Fargo
     10:30 a.m. on WDAZ ch. 8 - Devils Lake / Grand Forks
     11:00 a.m. on KXND ch. 24 - Minot
     10:00 a.m. on KNDX ch. 26 - Bismarck
     10:30 a.m. on K38HS - Dickinson digital 
     Salt & Light television - Canada (check local listings for times)

Thank you for being a part of this worthy apostolate and for your support of the Sunday TV Mass.

A message from Fr. Paul Fagan, CP and the Sunday Mass Production Family:
I just wanted to take this opportunity to touch base with you for a moment during this most difficult time. Because of the way we produce the Sunday Mass and because of our production schedule, we don't always seem to be current with what's going on in the world or in our prayers. So, I wanted to assure you that each day, each week, we are praying for our nation, for our church, for all the communities affected by this virus and for all the people affected by it. We thank you for being part of our worldwide faith community and we wanted you to know that we will be with you every week here at the Sunday Mass.

(All of the Sunday Masses from the first Sunday of March to the last Sunday of June were taped PRIOR TO the coronavirus regulations, with the June 28 Mass recorded on March 6, 2020.)
