2020 lockdowns and coronavirus restrictions have made it necessary for us to get St Dominic's (the Rosary Shrine) online with livestreaming facilities. Until now we have been relying on our mobile phones which are not always reliable - the mobile signal can be unstable so the picture is not clear, and the sound is poor because it's hard for the phone to pick up the voices coming through the microphones.

We have consulted with 'Keystone', the company that installed our sound system a couple of years ago and who specialise in church installations. They propose to install a camera above the pulpit that will give us a view of the whole sanctuary so you can see all the action from your own homes. There will be a wired internet line so that the livestream signal will be strong and stable. And, most importantly, the sound will come directly from the microphones in church so that you can hear everything clearly and distinctly - vital, for the Order of Preachers! 

I invite you to help us and make a contribution for this new livestreaming facility. Masses, weddings, funerals, processions and devotions will be streamed to our new dedicated YouTube channel, which we will launch shortly, and link to our website and social media accounts. We hope that this will help you to stay in contact with St Dominic's and with Our Lady's Rosary Shrine. We hope that this will help you to participate as best as you can in the liturgical life of the parish and Shrine during these difficult and isolating times.
