What’s Happening?
ST MARY’S on FACEBOOK
Connect, communicate, and help build an even stronger St Mary’s community!

We now aim to start a ST MARY’S COMMUNITY GROUP on Facebook in the next month. We have a draft Facebook page we would like people’s thoughts and ideas on.
OPEN ONLINE MEETING
We want to listen to people’s ideas and opinions. You’ll be able to be involved from your own home!
3.30 pm SUNDAY 11th OCTOBER 2020.
EVERYBODY WELCOME
But unfortunately you will have to make your own brew!

Recommended LIVE-STREAMED SERVICES
We have found some Live Streamed services including masses. This means that clicking on the link below at the right time will connect you to a website showing a live stream of a mass in progress. Please note that to follow a complete service will use a great deal of data (like streaming live TV) so should only be used on a wifi connection, not using a phone data connection.
Also please note we have no control over content from independent websites
The website churchservices.tv provides a list of services online, even a what’s on, showing where Mass is on at any given moment. The beautiful liturgy of the Irish Monks of Glenstal for example, also includes prayers you can
recite alongside the monks
