Vol. 2, 2024 - 2025
Brother Carlos Aceves has been helping Father Alberto Hernandez film the Daily and Sunday masses at Roger Bacon College Church in El Paso, Texas since April 6, 2020. The church was struggling with little to no funds to meet its operational expenses. With this endeavor the church began to see a regular Offertory come in to build funds to meet its expenses.
Brother Aceves spoke to Father Alberto about trying to spread the message since the masses were closed to the public due to this ugly pandemic, he agreed. He purchased a camera with all the supplies needed, i.e., tripod, memory card and case. Roger Bacon College Church does not have WIFI in the chapel, so he had to tape the Mass and then go home to upload to YouTube. He has been doing this everyday Monday thru Saturday for the 7:00AM Mass and for the Sunday at 12:00PM Mass as well. He had to set up an account on Gmail and YouTube for the church. The first few days were very difficult because he did not know what he was doing, and it would take hours to upload. Therefore, he purchased a Chromebook which comes with a YouTube Studio app that allowed him to upload the mass in less than 30 minutes. The YouTube channel is El Paso Tx Roger Bacon College, there you can see all 40 videos to date plus see all the Likes each video has received, it has become a success.
