Video reflections, services and prayers
We’ve gathered here all the videos we shared of daily prayer during the initial lockdown period (from March 24 to July 4, 2020), and the various acts of diocesan worship that were live-streamed or pre-recorded between March and August 2020. Both the daily videoed prayers and the weekly Sunday Eucharists have now ceased, as our parishes are now providing physical and digital worship themselves.
