Who can join?

Everyone is welcome! Whether you’re alone or part of a group, if you can gather around a screen, you can join in. Here are a few ways people are taking part:

• Small gatherings in homes – perfect for places where there is room to gather together once a month.

• Faith communities – wanting to support others who gather this way or explore something new.

• Ministry teams – enjoying a week off from finding a priest or filling a roster.

• Individuals – who may be unable to attend regular services but still want to participate in worship and spiritual communion.

If you let us know in advance:

• We can arrange to send Reserved Sacrament to your group.

• We can help with equipment setup or internet access if you’re meeting in a church.

Recordings & Sermons

• Our Facebook page has the sermon-homily posted after the service

• The Nourishing Faith article in our newsletter also has this for the week after the service.

• Our Diocesan website has them on the Faith Communities Video page

Why Do this?

This initiative is part of our commitment to minister with and support people across our Diocese, especially:

• Those unable to attend in-person services.

• Communities who find it difficult to run Sunday services due to distance, health, or a shortage of clergy.

We meet online on the 4th Sunday of each month, using Reserved Sacrament across locations from Invercargill and Dunedin to Lumsden, Alexandra, and Palmerston. This gives individuals and small groups the opportunity to experience community and spiritual communion for individuals wherever they are.
