Cleveland Bishop Nelson Perez took time on Dec. 10 to record the Christmas Day Mass at dawn at the television studios of WJW Fox8. The liturgy will air at 6 a.m. on Christmas Day, Dec. 25.
The TV Mass, a staple on Fox8 for nearly 45 years, is supported by a staff of volunteers and the station?s production crew. It offers persons who can't attend Mass at their Catholic parish because of short-term or long-term health reasons an opportunity to experience Mass each Sunday and on Christmas. The TV Mass is not intended to be a substitute for healthy persons who are able to attend Mass at their Catholic parish.
Bishop Perez?s Christmas message from his homily will be posted here on the diocesan website closer to the holy day.
