Some interesting things are emerging now in the process of reopening our churches and streaming from St Brigid's.
On Saturday evening Mass at Christ the King we reached our maximum number for the first time, amd so not everyone could get in. A nice problem to have, but not so nice for the unlucky late arrival. We now have to do some thinking about times etc. maybe.
Secondly, some statistics came through about people watching services via the camera in St Brigid's. There's quite a variation in the Sunday numbers, which there is anyway in normal times, but also every so often on a weekday we seem to also get a big number. This was puzzling me until I realised it was the days of funerals, and so many mourners were watching who could not be present. I think that alone makes our buying into 24/7 streaming worthwhile.
I also realised recently how few churches of other denominations have reopened. We have even had enquiries from folks with no connection to the Catholic Church about weddings, as their churches are shut and not taking any queries.
As so many have said - strange times indeed!
