New Program Ready To Air on Catholic Television
Our Faith, Our Diocese

CTV: Catholic Television is producing a new program that will provide viewers with a wealth of information about the faith and the Diocese of Scranton.

“Our Faith, Our Diocese” is a monthly one-hour program that will follow a news magazine format. It will include interviews, coverage of Diocesan events and ministries, previews of upcoming activities, catechesis on the faith, and other segments.

Each program will feature a conversation between the host, Dan Gallagher, and Bishop Joseph F. Martino. This segment provides a forum for the Bishop to teach a potential audience of approximately 235,000 households about a variety of topics from the perspective of the Church and the circumstances of our own Diocese.

CTV viewers know Mr. Gallagher as the host of “Our Community,” the half-hour interview program that has aired for many years. While “Our Community” will no longer exist as a separate entity, its style and substance will be incorporated into the new program through feature segments and interviews.

“Our Faith, Our Diocese” debuts this Sunday, Sept. 10, at 8 p.m. It will be rebroadcast several times over the succeeding weeks, on different days and times, to give viewers an opportunity to see the program. A new edition will debut the second Sunday of each month.

In addition to the conversation with Bishop Martino, the September edition will include reports on the dedication of the St. John Neumann statue and subsequent devotions at St. Peter’s Cathedral, the Rite of Candidacy for seminarians, the renewed Diocesan Annual Appeal, the strategic planning process for Catholic schools, and a segment on the history of the Diocese with Father Charles P. Connor, Ph.D., Diocesan historian.
