Worcester Community Cable Access Executive Director Mauro DePasquale remembers driving down Main Street with the Rev. Michael P. Bafaro more than 20 years ago and noticing the vacant Home Federal Savings Bank.

DePasquale told Bafaro, who was president of WCCA’s board of directors at the time, that the former bank building would make a much better home for the community television station than the organization’s cramped, low-ceiling studio in the basement of the Northworks Building on Grove Street and jokingly asked him to say a few novenas.
