We are so sorry that the TV Mass could not be aired on a couple of Sundays. CW34 had a ransomware attack and it is out of their control and ours. You can find the correct TV Masses on our website, https://www.diocesepb.org/tv-mass. We hope the Mass next Sunday will air! Thank you for watching our Masses and for your support!
