Saying Goodbye to Fr Hannon

Father Hannon passed away 10 days ago, and we're really missing him here at CatholicTV. He has been celebrating Mass with us for over 30 years and has brightened our lives for all that time. His funeral was celebrated on Friday across the street at St Patrick's in Watertown.

He was scheduled to celebrate Mass for us today, and Father Thomas Kopp from Sudbury kindly stepped up to take over his Mass. He was joined by Mary and Dan Farrell, Fr Hannon's sister and brother-in-law, who always joined Fr Hannon for Mass. He offered the Mass for Fr Hannon and also paid tribute to him in his homily, which you can watch below. Thanks for your prayers for Fr Hannon and his family, especially Mary and Dan.

Money and Faith to Be Discussed on Live CatholicTV Talk Show

On July 30th, Thomas Zordani, author of “Faith Finances” will be interviewed on the live CatholicTV talk show “This is the Day”.

Faith Finances came about through the real life experiences of its founder Thomas E. Zordani. After facing a period of homelessness and finding himself and his family in an unimaginable swamp of debt, he began a painstaking journey to gain financial knowledge and wisdom from the ultimate learning source, the Bible!

This is the Day airs at 10:30AM ET at CatholicTV.com and on CatholicTV. The show is rebroadcast at 7:30PM.

Mr. Zordani eagerly states, “Faith Finances is about becoming a true steward. With such stewardship responsibility comes the understanding that God owns everything we have (our possessions, our homes, our children and yes, even our money). Everything belongs to God. We are merely stewards of whatever He chooses to bless us with. It is our solemn duty to become the best stewards we are capable of becoming, and instilling within our children this very profound truth, so that they may grow and develop the necessary character to become themselves good stewards.”

Mr. Zordani also says that “True stewardship is about applying all of God's words to personal finances. It is about mastering the 3 Principles of biblical finances, the principles of giving, managing, and increase.” These concepts and a guide to mastering finances using biblical principles are detailed in his newly released book “Faith Finances” which may be ordered on his website.

New Series on CatholicTV Stars 9-Time Emmy Award-Winning Broadcaster

A new series on CatholicTV called “Living Your Faith” will air starting in June 2010 on CatholicTV. Living Your Faith is hosted by Emmy Award-winning broadcaster Jane Hanson.

This new series (starts June 2010) takes a look at basic Catholic doctrine (using the Compendium of the Catholic Church) and shows practical ways the faith can be lived. Additionally, the series takes a look at the Order of Malta’s mission work with the poor and sick as an example of living out the Catholic faith by serving others.

Living Your Faith is produced by the Order of Malta, American Association Education/Defense of the Faith Committee. The Order of Malta is one of the most ancient lay religious organizations of the Catholic Church.

Living Your Faith covers key doctrinal themes of The Compendium in the light of four of the literally hundreds of charitable missions of the Order of Malta worldwide. The series features panelists from the Catholic University of America (CUA) School of Moral Theology and Religious Studies.

Starting in June, Living Your Faith can be seen at CatholicTV.com and on CatholicTV at the following times: (Eastern) Monday 10:30 AM & Friday 8:00 PM

“School of Faith” to premiere in March on CatholicTV

Starting in March, CatholicTV will air a new series called “School of Faith”. The new show revolves around different dimensions of faith including vision, purpose, community, and surrender.

School of Faith is hosted by Frank DeVito. Frank currently works in education and studied philosophy and social science at Saint John’s Seminary College. He attended Gregorian University in Rome, Italy where he studied theology.

In each episode of School of Faith, DeVito shows how believers can allow God to transform their hearts and minds using vision, purpose, community, and surrender. Since Frank’s background is in education, the show is set in a virtual classroom to teach how to deepen viewers’ understanding of God’s calling in their lives. Frank does this by following the model of Jesus; using cultural stories and symbols of the day to communicate the nature of faith.

Starting in March, School of Faith will air each week at the following times (Eastern) at CatholicTV.com and on CatholicTV: Tuesday 3:30 a.m., 8 p.m., Wednesday 3:30 p.m., Friday 12:30 p.m.& 11 p.m., and Sunday 10 p.m.

More on Frank Devito

Frank has extensive experience in public education. He co-founded two innovative high schools for at-risk students that utilized project-based curricula and assessments that were linked to professional internships (local hospitals, universities, law offices, and community/government agencies). As both a teacher and a school leader, he inspired Chelsea, Massachusetts students to graduate and move on to post-secondary education.

Frank also pursued doctoral studies in bilingual education (specializing in culture, language, and administration) at Boston University.
