Our Broadcasts
Live-streaming in our churches:
Since March 2020, at Leeds Cathedral and in some of our parishes, we have been ‘live-streaming’ Masses and devotions via YouTube, with some churches also livestreaming Mass via parish websites and Facebook pages.
This Guide to Live-Streaming Mass from Scratch (approved by the CBCEW’s Digital Manager as the ‘best by some way’ of lockdown live-streaming guides!) has been produced and circulated for clergy and parishioners with an interest in livestreaming.
Additionally, videographer Sammie Rose provides technical advice and support to priests and parishioners considering live-streaming: media@dioceseofleedsmusic.org.uk
