Le Jour du Seigneur is a France 2 religious programme that presents Christianity, usually broadcasting Catholic mass and services, amongst other things related to religion. It was the first broadcast Vatican Catholic mass and is the longest running French television show. The show was first broadcast on October 1949, an overall total of 73 years, one of the highest lengths ever for a TV show. The show was originally called L'Emission religieuse and later renamed Le Jour du Seigneur in 1954. The show has experienced a significant drop of television viewers over the span of several decades due to the decline of religious observance, and overall decline in rates of Christianity.

Raymond Pichard OP was a French Dominican priest, who became best known for presenting the television show Le Jour du Seigneur.
