Getting there

Well, we spent an interesting hour or two this morning trying to set up live streaming from St Brigid's, with the help of a well-distanced parishioner. In the end we got there, so we're going to have a test go at it on Saturday, and then - who knows?

Meanwhile, parish life has to go on, like life does for everyone - bills to be paid, jobs to be done etc. We've had more funerals, and more have come in. Thornhill Cemetery has now lifted its ban on anyone other than the small group of mourners allowed at a funeral. This time it was the cremation of a popular lady, when I am sure there would have been many, many people who would like to have been present. Once more, family are talking of a memorial Mass at a later date.  And still people are so grateful for the priest being there - perhaps even more so than in more usual circumstances?  Maybe we are a note of normality in a very abnormal world at the moment. Which brings me back to streaming the Mass. So fingers crossed for going live!
