A quarterly television program produced by the Diocese of Greensburg is switching broadcast channels, from WTAE-TV to WPXI-TV.
The next episode, a “Faith and Food” edition, is set to air at 11:30 a.m. Feb. 19 on WPXI Channel 11 and will be repeated on the channel on Feb. 26. The program will have additional airings on MeTV, seen on WPXI Channel 11.2.
“The move to WPXI allows us to keep the time slot we’ve had for the last four years with WTAE,” said Jennifer Miele, chief communications officer for the diocese and host of the program. “Channel 4 discontinued paid programming on Sunday mornings because of a network programming conflict.”
As part of the “Faith and Food” episode, Bishop Larry J. Kulick will lead the show’s crew on a visit to St. Peter Parish in Brownsville, where volunteers are preparing a fish fry, served from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Fridays.
The diocese Lenten fish fry guide will be available at theaccentonline.org — along with other content from “The Catholic Accent” program. An accompanying magazine is mailed to 40,000 homes and businesses in Westmoreland, Fayette, Armstrong and Indiana counties.
The “Faith and Food” show also will feature a recipe for Frutti di Mare, a shrimp and pasta dish that can be enjoyed during Lent. It will be prepared by New Kensington native Father Christopher J. Pujol, Episcopal Master of Ceremonies and Parochial Vicar of Blessed Sacrament Cathedral Parish, Greensburg.
The show also will profile Father Anthony Onoko, a native of Nigeria who initially wanted to be a soccer star and now is pastor of St. Raymond of the Mountains Parish in Donegal.
Stories that appear on the diocese TV show also may be seen on YouTube, Facebook and Instagram. The half-hour show debuted in 2019.
