Vision Statement: 'TCN' was formed to put means of communication
at the service of the Church Apostolate. It
has a challenge to foster authentic Christian
values that lead to the development of the whole person and the transformation of our
society. TCN's primary function is to strengthen what is already present within our communities, challenging them to broaden horizons, take innovative steps and thus deepen their commitment to serve their wider communities. It is not an electronic Church and is not in competition with or a substitute for concrete Christian community ( parish, lay community, various groups). TCN is now managing programming on Channel 10 on cable television in Trinidad & Tobago. Archbishop of Port of Spain, Most Rev. Edward J Gilbert, has given his full support to this ministry. A weekly half hour programme highlighting events within the life of the Church/Community; current issues; and little people doing ordinary things with extraordinary love. A devotional programme which focuses on the Mercy of God with
particular attention to the Divine Mercy devotion which was revealed to the Polish nun -
Sr. Faustina.
Footsteps: A programme designed to guide, inspire, educate and motivate
teenagers and young adults. The Mass: "The 'Lord's Day', has always been accorded special
attention in the history of the Church because of its close connection with the very core
of the Christian mystery. Sunday recalls the
day of Christ's Resurrection. It is Easter
which returns week by week, celebrating Christ's Resurrection. Rightly, then, the Psalmist's cry is applied to
Sunday: "This is the day which the Lord has made: let us rejoice and be glad in
it". " For those who cannot take part in the Eucharist ( because
of sickness, disability or some other serious cause) and who are therefore excused from
the obligation, radio and television are a precious help, especially if accompanied by the
generous service of extraordinary ministers
who bring the Eucharist to the sick, also bringing them the
greeting and solidarity of the whole community." ( On Keeping The
Lord's Day - Dies Domini Apostolic Letter of Pope John
Paul II ) The celebration of Holy Mass can be viewed on cable television
(channel 10) every Sunday at 8.00 am from the Living Water Community Chapel, Frederick Street, Port of
Spain. Our programming times on Cable Television in T&T (channel 10) are as follows:
The celebration of Holy Mass can be heard every day on
Inspirational Radio 730 AM 'Moments of Music and Prayer' - an
