Watch This Month’s Episode of “Kaleidoscope”

The Canisius College Video Institute production of the January episode of “Kaleidoscope” premiered earlier this month on WGRZ-TV 2. This 30-minute television program celebrates the religious diversity of our region and is produced in conjunction with the Network of Religious Communities. “Kaleidoscope” will rebroadcast each Friday at 6:30 p.m. on Spectrum Cable 20 and each Sunday at 8:00 p.m. on Charter 6 in Olean, NY.

In the first segment, host Dr. Stan Bratton speaks with Rev. Marijan Procyk of St. Nicholas Ukranian Catholic Church about Epiphany, the second Christian festival celebration of the manifestation of Jesus Christ. Differences between Western and Eastern Christian traditions are discussed.

In the second segment, Dr. Stan Bratton interviews Rev. Francis X Mazur, the ecumenical officer of the Diocese of Buffalo, about the Week of Prayer and ecumenism today.  The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity is celebrated each year from January 18 through January 25.

Students in the Canisius College Video Institute produce “Kaleidoscope” under the guidance of Barbara J. Irwin, PhD, professor in the Department of Communication and co-director of the Video Institute, Jamie O’Neil, associate professor of digital media arts and co-director of the Video Institute, and Paula DeAngelis-Stein ’86, MS ’02.
