For those of you who are a little computer-savvy and are thinking of taking something up or giving some of your time to God during Lent, then you could do worse than downloading the Universalis liturgy of the hours app and exploring it.  It’s a little like the daily missal book but much, much more.Continue reading “Universalis”

In yesterday’s Parish Newsletter we read about the work CAFOD (Catholic Agency For Overseas Development) is doing to help people like Abdella in Ethiopia. One of the ways the Lancaster based branch of CAFOD, of which we are members, has suggested we can help is to sign up for the 10,000 steps a day challenge. Continue reading “Helping CAFOD through Lent”

Again, apologies over the audio issues, which we recognise has been the bugbear of our live streaming efforts and is the major impediment for our parishioners. You will notice that there is audio for the readings and sermon, but completely absent from the rest of the Mass. This is because the lapel microphone wire thatContinue reading “Technology update for 14th February 2021”

Now we know that,  barring issues with the sound volume and clarity and picture quality and permanence, it is possible to live stream a Mass from St Teresa’s into your living rooms.  Who would have thought 12 months ago that this would be the case. This has been achieved through the skills and time generouslyContinue reading “Aiming for Easter- Live Streaming”

I am glad to report that the live streaming Mass for today had clear audio and that we resolved the issue from the previous week that ruined the sound quality. I do though think that the audio feed was quieter than we had with the previous zoom Masses. This was not apparent with the testingContinue reading “Technology update for 7th Feb 2021”

Sunday  : Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time Contents:  ​The Gospel Reflection Notices  (Including details of Live-Streamed Mass) Reflections for the coming week Gospel: Mark 1:29-39 On leaving the synagogue, Jesus went with James and John straight to the house of Simon and Andrew.  Now Simon’s mother-in-law had gone to bed with fever, and they told him about her straightaway.  He went to her,Continue reading “Parish Newsletter 7th February 2021”

I’m pleased to say that after almost a year St. Teresa’s Parish Pastoral Council ‘met’ up again last night using the Zoom facility. Obviously lots has been happening to change our original plans but we are determined to do what we can and when we can to offer up ways of enriching Parish life.
