And it's just been announced that ...

From the Chancery:

Please announce, spread the word!

Thank you kindly!

Axios! Axios! Axios! God grant to his servant Kurt, bishop of Passaic, many blessed years!

Axios! Axios! Axios!

Thank you and God Bless you JLF for the link to this precious event!!

Axios! What a beautiful ceremony. It was wonderful to see some many of the Eastern Bishops present.

My question was Bishop Gregory of the Carpatho Rusyns invited? If he was did he attend? If he didn't attend shame on him. If he wasn't invited shame on us.
Metropolitan Schott and Metropolitan Nicholas worked hard to unite. Hopefully the new leaders continue to build on the foundation that the Metropolitans started.

He did not attend, but there is no need to "shame" him! He was in Berlin for a conference on religious freedom:

As far as Bishop Gregory goes... God has his back! (Romans 8: 1,2)

Friends, a 5-camera edited DVD of this liturgy is now available for purchase from the online catalog of the OL Conference & TV website at the following link:

https://secure.webvalence.com/ecomm...nce&kiosk=Media&subclass=liturgy

It is the last item on this list of Special Event liturgies that we have recorded and produced over the last two years. The product number is #SE13.

Once we have the broadcast date and time from EWTN, we will announce it.

Jack

And I am waiting to see this on EWTN instead of all the usual reruns and endless popular devotions!

Great News! I have just today received confirmation that the Hierarchical Divine Liturgy and Consecration/Enthronement of Bishop Kurt Burnette that I recorded and edited will air on EWTN on Saturday, February 8, 2014 at 1:00 pm ET. It is not the single-camera version that was broadcast live and available on the internet, but a multi-camera edition with improved audio, closeups, and commentary explanations. It will be essentially the version we offer as a 2+ hour DVD.

Please spread the word to all of our clergy and faithful as widely as possible, have it announced this Sunday in all of our parishes, and ask everyone to contact EWTN after the program by email, phone or regular mail, encouraging them to broadcast more Eastern Christian programming.

We have several more liturgies and other educational programs that we want to propose to EWTN for broadcast, maybe even a weekly prime-time series, and a strong demonstration of viewership would help.

Thanks,
Jack Figel
Producer OLTV

That sounds great! Thanks for your efforts.

Thanks for your work to get this onto EWTN, will try to publicize this as much as possible!

All, I just watched the interview of Fr Mark Morozowich (Dean of Theology at The Catholic University of America in Washington) on Fr Mitch Pacwa's program EWTN Live. At the break they showed a nice advert for the Consecration Liturgy on Sunday, and looking at their schedule they have blocked out 2 1/2 hours for the program starting at 1:00 pm Saturday. That tells me they will use all of the 2:20 video that I gave them, cutting nothing.

Spread the word to watch and then write to them asking for more Eastern programs.

Jack

I have posted both hours, as part I (Liturgy of the Word) and part II (Liturgy of the Eucharist) of the Consecration of Bishop Kurt Burnette and Hierarchical Liturgy on our OLTV YouTube channel. This is the same as the DVD version, with more commentary that is more audible than what was broadcast by EWTN (due to a technical glitch on my part). View the whole thing here:
