The PPC has a plan for the future which includes the
Communication Faith Worship Support and Outreach
Popes’ challenge to us – The Popes, from Pope John Paul
"The internet, in particular, offers immense possibilities for
encounter and solidarity," Pope Francis said. "This is something truly good, a gift from God."
"The digital world can be an environment rich in humanity,"
Francis wrote. "A network not of wires but of people."
Web Team
The web is an important communication medium that
provides a new missionary challenge. Our hope right from the start is that our website will portray a friendly, inclusive, and welcoming window to our Catholic community.

This is to include as norm the daily and weekend Masses
Liturgies for particular Sacramental moments e.g. First
In the spirit of Evangelisation and Outreach as outlined by
bring the liturgies to those who cannot be present in our
church
bring the Word of God beyond the physical walls of the
church and
extend that spiritual network of people within our parish

people who may be unable to attend regularly

Let’s think and dream the opportunities possible
Installation of
one camera placed on the gallery, pressure mats in altar sanctuary area and a control box in the sacristy
As per the Diocesan guidelines, equipment will be
Following installation there will be a few weeks of
Testing of the system and equipment on a private site This is to test and adjust the sound and vision quality so
people watching can engage effectively but without it being intrusive to those in the church
When testing is complete it is integrated on our website Aim for a ”Go Live” date as soon as possible
The images relayed will be similar to that on the overflow
During Liturgical services, there will be 4 views relayed to
“Artists impression” of 4 possible views
Subject to adjustment when system is installed
Four possible views include
A wide view incorporating the altar area of the sanctuary
The exact position subject to testing phase Aim for from the altar rails to the back wall, curve of the apse from left
to right
There will be a focused view of the ambo, altar and chair
All views are in line with Diocesan guidelines
Wide view image available when Liturgy begins Wide view will be the standard Focused views occur automatically for a defined period
When people leave these areas or following a defined
