Sunday & Daily Mass on the TV or Ipad: we live in a Digital World where the TV/ Ipad / Iphone / computers are in most homes. For those who cannot get to Mass on a Sunday or even during week have you ever looked up the EWTN channel on SKY TV- channel 589. It is an American Catholic Channel which has Mass at 1.00pm and repeated again at 6pm. The Mass is celebrated with the Franciscan Friars who dedicate their ministry to the eternal word of God and to spreading the Word of God through TV and computers. As well as daily Mass there are many other interesting and prayerful programmes on EWTN to deepen our faith. Check out SKY channel 589- EWTN.
Also on the ipad/ iphone if you google www.mcnmedia.tv you will find a site which streams daily Mass from various churches around the UK, Ireland and Northern Ireland. There are 5 churches in Scotland which are used for daily Mass including the Cathedral in Glasgow. If you have an Ipad and have good broadband connection why not check it out so that you feel a part of the Holy Mass that day!
