Emerald Goes On-Line

Lighting Up The Dawn

Like many parishes, St Patrick’s has jumped on the live-streaming / Zoom bandwagon as we continue to find ways to remain engaged with each other and with our community. Our first live-streaming attempt was held on ANZAC Day and involved the Parish Team - Fr Truc and Fr Yon, Parish Secretaries Francie Hartley and Cathy Chapman. Beautiful music was presented by Rebekah Burns, coordinator of our Music Ministry. In unity with Australia, the service begun outside, in our driveway (social distancing observed) at 6am. This was Fr Yon’s first and Fr Truc’s second Eucharist Celebration with Emerald. The service is on St Patrick’s facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/StPatsChurchEmerald. We continue with live-streaming Masses, every Sunday at 8am. Fathers Truc and Yon are hopeful of extending this service to other areas in our region.
