Televised Catholic Mass serves as a lifeline for millions. For elderly or homebound individuals, tuning in offers more than spiritual nourishment—it restores a sense of belonging. Travelers and shift workers rely on it when local parishes aren't within reach. In cities and rural areas alike, Spectrum Cable bridges this gap, delivering religious programming directly to viewers’ homes. Through its wide network of local and national channels, Spectrum makes Catholic services accessible every day of the week. No matter the distance or circumstance, the Mass remains within reach—often just a channel number away.
Spectrum subscribers can access Catholic Mass through channels dedicated to religious and spiritual programming. The most widely available and reliable source is the Eternal Word Television Network (EWTN). Broadcast in both standard and high definition on most Spectrum packages, EWTN provides a consistent schedule of Catholic Masses and related content across the United States.
EWTN, founded in 1981 by Mother Angelica, broadcasts more than 11 hours of live religious programming daily, and its coverage of Catholic ceremonies is unmatched in reach and consistency. With a viewership spanning over 160 countries, EWTN delivers a centralized source of liturgical celebrations to households on Spectrum’s network. This includes:
Unlike some regional religious networks that vary based on local partnerships, EWTN holds national carriage rights across most of Spectrum's coverage areas. Subscribers in both urban and rural zones—from Los Angeles to upstate New York—can expect EWTN to be part of the standard line-up, particularly in packages that include basic cable or higher tiers.
More than just a Mass channel, EWTN functions as a 24-hour Catholic content hub. Beyond the Eucharist, viewers get access to teachings from the Vatican, interviews with church leaders, and live coverage of papal events. Whether following daily liturgy or catechetical series, this channel supports both lifelong Catholics and those new to the faith in understanding and practicing Catholicism.

Spectrum’s searchable guide responds well to specific terms. Entering “Catholic” surfaces programming from multiple channels beyond the expected religious networks. Type “Mass” to bring up both live and rebroadcast liturgies across different parishes and time slots. Looking for the most consistent source? Try “EWTN”—the Eternal Word Television Network schedules daily Mass, Rosary, and chaplets, along with Catholic educational and devotional content.
Channel numbers vary depending on your Spectrum service area. The program guide auto-updates to reflect regional availability, but for faster access, combine ZIP code and provider tools on the Spectrum website. Alternatively, download the Spectrum TV app and scroll through the “Religious” genre filter under the live TV section. The app version mirrors your local channel map and includes additional on-demand options tied to your subscription tier.
Spectrum customers have several channel options that broadcast Catholic Mass regularly, offering both national networks and region-specific stations. Each channel brings its own focus — from traditional liturgy to modern faith-focused programming. Here's where to tune in.
EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) anchors Catholic media broadcasting on Spectrum. It airs daily and Sunday Mass, typically celebrated at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Hanceville, Alabama. Many viewers rely on EWTN for its continuous feed of liturgical events, daily Rosaries, Eucharistic Adoration, and papal Mass coverage. Long-established and globally distributed, EWTN delivers Mass that adheres closely to traditional Roman Catholic rites.
CatholicTV, based in Massachusetts and available nationwide, offers a mix of live and prerecorded Masses. The programming includes weekday celebrations, Sunday services, and evening Rosaries. In addition to liturgical content, the channel features documentaries on Church history, saints, and global Catholic communities. The programming leans family-oriented and includes children’s Masses and teaching segments.
Many dioceses have agreements with Spectrum to air Sunday Mass or major celebrations through local broadcast affiliates. These may include independent networks or public access channels that partner with regional clergy. For example, in Los Angeles and San Antonio, local stations carry diocesan services weekly, especially for underserved populations such as the elderly and homebound.
Some Spectrum packages include channels such as INSP, UPtv, and TBN, which occasionally broadcast Catholic-friendly content. While not focused strictly on Catholicism, these networks may air Masses during special events, especially during Christmas, Easter, and religious commemorations.
Channel numbers for Catholic Mass broadcasts on Spectrum vary significantly depending on your location. Two of the most prominent networks carrying Catholic programming—EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) and CatholicTV—appear on different channels in each region. Below is a breakdown of Spectrum channel numbers in several major U.S. cities. Use this list to tune in directly, or locate where to start your search in your own area.
Spectrum offers a channel lookup tool that gives you real-time, ZIP code-specific data. By entering your city and state in their online directory, you’ll get the most accurate listing for Catholic networks. This tool helps confirm whether your area carries EWTN, CatholicTV, or both, and on which exact channels they appear.
Another reliable method is checking your Spectrum on-screen guide. Use the search function to type in “Catholic Mass,” “EWTN,” or “CatholicTV” and browse showtimes and channel numbers without leaving your TV interface.
Spectrum broadcasts Catholic Mass throughout the day on Sundays. Most viewers tune in between 8:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. local time, when the major networks like EWTN and New Evangelization Television (NET) air their flagship Mass services. EWTN, for example, broadcasts a live Mass from Our Lady of the Angels Chapel at 8:00 a.m. ET, with additional airings at 12:00 p.m. and again in the evening.
Many Catholic channels on Spectrum offer both live morning Masses and pre-recorded evening replays. Watching live allows viewers to participate in real time with a global audience, especially during special seasons such as Lent or Advent. Evening broadcasts often suit viewers who prefer quiet reflection at the end of the day. For instance:
Sunday programming goes far beyond the liturgy. Viewers can access:
Special episodes occasionally include homilies focused on current events, moral teachings, or saints' feast days. NET TV and CatholicTV frequently spotlight local parishes and community outreach programs as part of the Sunday lineup.
Most Catholic Mass channels come bundled within Spectrum’s base Digital TV packages. EWTN and CatholicTV are typically available in both Select and Silver packages across most ZIP codes. Some regions may require a regional sports or faith-based add-on to access NET TV, particularly in non-metropolitan areas. As of 2024, Spectrum does not charge per-service fees for religious content included in these packages.
For those who prefer to experience Catholic Mass in real-time, several channels on Spectrum air live broadcasts directly from parishes, cathedrals, and Vatican-related locations. Networks such as EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) and New Evangelization Television (NET TV) offer live daily and Sunday Mass coverage. For instance, EWTN airs the daily Mass live from Our Lady of the Angels Chapel in Irondale, Alabama, every morning at 8:00 AM Eastern Time, with reruns throughout the day.
To catch these live services, turn to your regional channel listing or use Spectrum’s interactive guide. Type "Catholic Mass" or the channel name into the search feature, and identify scheduling based on your location and time zone. Attending Mass virtually at the scheduled time allows for synchronized worship with viewers nationwide—especially meaningful on feast days or major liturgical seasons.
Missed the live broadcast? Spectrum’s DVR (Digital Video Recorder) offers a straightforward method to store and watch Catholic Mass later. Setup only requires selecting the Mass program on the guide and clicking ‘Record’. The service allows multiple simultaneous recordings and keeps content for as long as you choose, provided storage space remains.
This feature proves particularly useful for households with varying schedules. Viewers can pause, rewind, or re-watch homilies, scripture readings, and special liturgical ceremonies at their convenience. For weekly Mass-goers who follow specific priests or parishes, DVR ensures continuity, even when away from home or traveling.
The on-demand feature in Spectrum’s digital library expands options beyond live or recorded Mass. Users gain access to a curated selection of homilies, previously aired Masses, catechetical programs, and Church teachings. This content is available through the Spectrum Guide or via the Spectrum TV app when logged in with a subscriber account.
Not all parishes release content for on-demand viewing, but major Catholic networks update their libraries regularly. EWTN’s series such as “The Journey Home” or “Threshold of Hope” remain accessible weeks after airdate, providing ongoing spiritual formation.
Whether live, recorded via DVR, or accessed on-demand, Spectrum enables a flexible way to keep Catholic worship within reach—tailoring participation to your rhythm and routine.
Subscribers don’t need to be in front of a TV to follow Catholic Mass. Spectrum offers two main digital platforms for seamless access: the Spectrum TV App and the official SpectrumTV.com portal. Both services provide live streaming of subscribed channels, which includes popular religious networks like EWTN and CatholicTV wherever they are included in the viewer’s plan.
The Spectrum TV App is free to download and works on a broad range of devices. Users only need their Spectrum account credentials to log in and start streaming live channels or on-demand religious programming.
For on-the-go viewing, the Spectrum TV App supports both iOS and Android operating systems. Whether using an iPad, iPhone, Android smartphone, or tablet, viewers can stream live Mass, replay special events, and browse upcoming prayer-centric programming. The app includes a live TV guide, search functionality by topic or channel, and DVR integration for eligible subscribers.
Viewers using Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV Stick, or Google Chromecast can stream live Catholic Mass through the Spectrum TV App, provided the app is supported on their platform. Alternatively, both EWTN and CatholicTV operate official apps and livestreams that work independently of Spectrum. These apps can be downloaded from respective app stores and accessed directly on smart TVs or connected devices.
In homes equipped with smart devices but without a streaming box, screen-mirroring or casting from a mobile device running the Spectrum TV App remains a functional alternative. This allows viewers to project Mass onto their TV screens without additional hardware.

Spectrum’s faith-based programming doesn’t stop at televised Mass. Viewers can access a wide range of Catholic services that extend into daily and seasonal devotionals. The Rosary, often aired multiple times a day on channels like EWTN and CatholicTV, brings the traditional Marian prayers into homes with clear audio guidance and sacred visuals. During key liturgical weeks, Novenas focus viewer attention through sequences of prayers spread across nine consecutive days. Many networks also highlight feast days of saints with documentaries, films, and live liturgical services that showcase each saint’s life, miracles, and legacy in the Church.
Holy Week and Easter Sunday bring extended programming blocks of liturgies, including the Chrism Mass, the Paschal Vigil, and the Urbi et Orbi papal blessing. These events are often simulcast from Rome and re-aired for different time zones. During Advent, channels feature morning reflections, scripture readings, and special homilies designed to prepare the heart for Christmas. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Masses are routinely presented live from the Vatican or national cathedrals, accompanied by choral performances and nativity reenactments. Lent introduces Stations of the Cross series every Friday, often accompanied by theological commentary or silent meditative visuals to deepen the contemplative experience.
Regular access to spiritual content on Spectrum supports viewers in forming consistent prayer habits. Daily morning Mass forms a rhythm for many, but programs like Divine Mercy Chaplet, Eucharistic Adoration broadcasts, and Lectio Divina series establish deeper connections with scripture and tradition. Visual liturgy becomes a focal point for those integrating spirituality into structured daily life, especially for the elderly, infirm, or homebound who rely on televised formats for sacramental participation.
Which programs do you tune into beyond the Mass? Observing the liturgical calendar from home offers a full spectrum of Catholic spiritual life—one that reaches far beyond a single weekly broadcast.
Catholic channels like EWTN (Eternal Word Television Network) and CatholicTV are typically part of Spectrum’s core lineups, but availability depends on the package and your region. The Spectrum TV Select plan contains EWTN in most markets. However, CatholicTV and other niche networks might require additional tiers or add-ons.
Spectrum TV Select: Includes 125+ channels, and in many areas, EWTN is bundled by default. It's the base package for most customers and the starting point for religious programming.
To access a broader range of Catholic and religious content, some customers opt for add-ons, such as:
Whether your Spectrum service is delivered via traditional cable or through a digital streaming package like Spectrum TV Choice, access to Catholic programming varies. Cable packages are generally more consistent in offering EWTN across the board. On the other hand, streaming packages allow for a la carte-style customization but may omit channels like CatholicTV unless specifically selected.
Start with the Spectrum Channel Lineup tool on their official site. Enter your ZIP code to confirm if EWTN or CatholicTV appears in your local listing. From there, take one of the following steps:
If your current plan doesn't include the Catholic programming you’re interested in, Spectrum allows upgrades or add-ons at any time. No long delays. Once the change is processed, channels like EWTN typically begin broadcasting within minutes.
