Just got all my bookmarks and calendar appointments for online streaming Masses set up, since we’re on stay-at-home order now.

Weekdays I’m going to be watching Fr. Heilman (OF ad orientem) from Wisconsin at 8:30 am ET/ 7:30 am CT. Or else the Daily Mass from Diocese of Cleveland, from a chapel at the diocesan offices, at 9:30 am.

On Saturday morning I’ll be watching Fr. Heilman at 8:30 am ET/ 7:30 am CT for daily Mass.
Also for Saturday vigil, Fr. Jim DeGrassa is doing a stream from Resurrection Parish in Philly at 4:30 pm.

On Sunday, Archbishop Perez is live streaming from the Cathedral in Philly at 11 am.
Archbishop Lori of Baltimore is also live streaming from the Cathedral there at 11 am.

Which Masses are you watching?

All of the Masses at my parish are live streamed, three times daily and five times on Sunday, all at the normal times. It is actually really comforting to be able to have that piece of normal routine, so I am very grateful. There is also a streamed noon rosary on weekdays and the stations of the Cross twice on Fridays.

For the sake of remaining anonymous, I am not posting the link. I am very grateful for the two priests serving my parish.
 
That’s fine. I note that none of the parishes above are any of my own parishes and all of them have priests who are online a lot and don’t mind publicity.

My normal parishes (I have several in different states) are not live-streaming, and I’m trying to rely on the streams from places that I know do a lot of live streaming and other tech-savvy stuff normally, so there’s less chance of “technical difficulties” with the stream.

Also, Fr Heilman does interesting homilies, and Fr. Dan who is doing the Masses for Diocese of Cleveland sings a lot of the OF Mass, so it helps keep things interesting.

My parish just down the street streams daily Mass, but I’ve been doing the Word on Fire daily Mass and have come to really like it. It is on at 7:15, and if I miss it I then do our parish Mass at 8:15.
 
This is like heavens schedule for me, I don’t watch anything because of the baby and my mental and emotional capacity right now but this encouraged me to start little.
Maybe I’ll try playing it in the background even if I can’t sit anywhere for a few minutes without interruption.
 
So I live in an archdiocese with over 2 million Catholics. The Archbishop is streaming masses on YouTube; but I’m noticing they are only getting a few hundred views. Even the Sunday ones and Solemnities (like today). That seems a bit concerning.
 
Keep in mind that we are all dispensed from the Mass obligation, so many people are not watching Mass and there is no requirement that we do so.

It is also possible that people who do watch Mass are choosing other Masses to watch which may not be your Archbishop’s Mass. As others have said, quite a few parishes are streaming from their own parish, and many of the well-known “celebrity priests” like Bishop Barron, Fr Heilman, Fr Z, etc are providing online Masses, plus there is always Mass on EWTN.
 
I’m going to mostly stick with Word on Fire’s Mass.

There is also a Mass streamed by my spiritual director+ one streamed at Cathedral Basilica in St. Louis.
 
Both my large Roman parish and my tiny Ukrainian parish are taping and/or live-streaming the Mass and Divine Liturgy.
I can’t tell you how many people have called the parish, emailed, and left comments on Facebook and YouTube: while there are plenty of national offerings (like EWTN Mass), they are more comforted and appreciative of seeing their own priests (and deacons). It makes them feel more connected and less isolated when worshipping with their own parishes. (Their words, not mine).

If the circuits are not overloaded, I try to watch one of the Masses with English homily at livemass.net

Even as this is maddening and highly frustrating; think of the beauty beneath it:
So many of our brothers and sisters are pining for the True Bread from Heaven that the sites are being overwhelmed!

I can get to their site. It only plays if there is a live Mass happening, other wise you need to click the recorded Masses at the bottom of their page.

My parish live-streams Mass on Facebook (which I don’t have, but I do sometimes watch), since I am on YouTube a lot, anyway, I have been doing Word on Fire, as well.
 
I’d like to see an Eastern Catholic liturgy, do you have a link?
