CCC Collection Supports TV Mass, National Projects Author: Diocese of Fall River In the News 8 Jan 2018 Share FALL RIVER– The annual Catholic Communication Campaign (CCC) collection will be taken up at parish Masses in the Fall River Diocese during the weekend of January 20 and 21, 2018. This yearly national campaign is designed as a shared collection, meaning half of the proceeds stay in the local diocese and the other half is forwarded to the Catholic Communication Campaign office of the U.S. Bishops’ Conference. The portion remaining in the Fall River Diocese is used to fund the weekly Television Mass, which airs at 11 a.m. each Sunday on WLNE-TV, channel 6. The cost for the Television Mass averages slightly over $100,000 each year including production, airtime and closed-captioning –all of which are handled by different entities. In addition to proceeds from this weekend’s CCC collection, the Television Mass is also supported by the Catholic Charities Appeal. At the national level, the CCC helps the Church spread the Gospel message through television, radio, print, social networks and the Internet by the U.S. Bishops’ Conference staff and other grantee organizations here in the U.S. and abroad.
