STREAMING INFORMATION AND

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT STREAMING

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

The streaming schedule must be set in advance, and the length of the stream set to ensure the whole Mass is streamed/recorded.  In addition, the streaming begins 5 minutes before the Mass/Service is scheduled to start as in the early days sometimes the beginning of the Mass was not being streamed.

As a guide

Please note that the streaming camera uses the PA system, and whilst the PA system is active, noises, can be picked up.   The sacristans endeavour to turn the PA system off as soon as possible after Mass but it would be prudent to avoid loud conversations particularly in the vicinity of the microphone during the times that the camera is in operation.

WHAT AREA OF THE CHURCH DOES THE CAMERA CAPTURE?

Below are screenshots from the positions the camera can take.   By default, the camera will be set to position 2.  

It may occasionally be set to the other positions.  E.g. the Lectern if we wish to record a specific homily.

CAN I WATCH RECORDINGS OF THE STREAMED MASSES?

Yes – to watch recording go to https://www.churchservices.tv/bishopeton and navigate to the bottom of the screen.   Recordings are kept for 90 days.  The latest 30 recording appear by default, if you wish to view an older recording you can use the search facility.

CAN I DOWNLOAD A RECORDING OF A MASS?

By default, downloading of Masses is disabled.  However, it is possible that for specific events such as a funeral limited (password protected) access to download the funeral could be given.

I DON’T WISH TO APPEAR ON THE LIVE STREAM WHERE CAN I SIT?

None of the camera settings cover the side chapel.   When the camera is in its default position, the side aisles and the back of the church are not picked up by the camera.   However, if you walk up the central aisle or turn to face the back of the church in the first few rows of benches you will be seen on the stream.

IS THE CHURCH BEING STREAMED 24 HOURS A DAY?

No – we only stream scheduled Masses and Services.  Outside of these times you will see a message indicating that no streaming is taking place

ARE ALL FUNERALS STREAMED?

No.  Requiem Masses that take place during the weekly scheduled Masses are normally streamed, though if the family do not want the Mass streamed we can remove from the schedule.

Other Requiem Masses and Funeral Services are streamed if specifically requested by the Family.

If a family would like the funeral streamed but limited to people they know - a password can be added to the stream.

ARE BAPTISMS STREAMED?

We do not normally stream baptisms, to protect the privacy of all the families at the services.  There may be exceptional circumstances where a password protected stream would be considered.

ARE WEDDINGS STREAMED?

Weddings are not currently streamed unless a specific request is made  to do so.

IS THE WEEKLY NOVENA STREAMED?

No - the Novena takes place infront of the Lady Chapel, the streaming camera does not cover this area.

At the moment we have no public notices in the porch, this is to avoid people gathering in a confined space. This is under constant review. 

We are not always able to advertise events in the bulletin.  If there is no space in the bulletin it is possible to advertise the event on the website, but to do so the event details and/or poster needs to be in electronic form. Please e-mail such information to the parish office and send a copy to . 

HOW CAN I ARRANGE FOR AN ANNOINTING?

In an emergency please call 0151-722-1108.  If someone in hospital needs annointing you can ask the ward staff to call the on call priest.

HOW DO I GET SOMEONE ADDED TO THE SICK LIST?

Each week the sick list is published in the newsletter (which is posted on the website and in the porch).  If you would like your name or the name of a friend or relative on the parish list of prayers for those who are sick, please contact the parish office, forms are available in the porch, at reception or by clicking here. This is necessary to make sure the church takes proper care of your information and complies with current data protection law.

Names will only be included for those for whom we have consent.

We request that when someone regains their health  (or dies and they do not live in the parish) thatyou let the office know, so that their name can be removed.
