Our normal season of broadcast is from the second Sunday of October until the second Sunday of May. Please check back here in the Fall for a schedule of presiders and parishes for the 2000-2001 season. Each Sunday of our broadcast season we are joined by parishes, their choirs, and parish priests who travel across the diocese to join us at the Studio Chapel for the live broadcast. The generosity of these parishes make a signifcant difference in the lives of those who join us each week. Indeed the Shut Ins often tell us that for the time of the broadcast they really experience being a part of that congregation and celebration. The producer of Mass for Shut-Ins is Rev. Gerald Campbell. Fr. Campbell can be contacted via e-mail:e-mail: Fr. Gerald Campbell at Mass For Shut-Ins.
