So I hope you will get a chance to experience a little excitement about the new space out of which we will minister in the future.
"Sneak Peek Video Tour"
April 15, 2020
As we celebrate the Octave of Easter, our Touchstones will be slightly different. We rested a little on Monday for two reasons. First, the Triduum was a bit more exhausting than I expected! Putting out the extra Touchstones for Thursday and Friday, plus having our first official “livestream mass” from our community was a bit ambitious, but such a great experience. I hope you all were enriched by the effort. So many people went into making each thing happen.
Second, I felt that maybe all of you weren’t looking for more “input” after such a full and rich weekend. So, hopefully, we all rested a bit. Friday I will have a regular “reflection” ready to go. Today, however, I wanted to do something different. I apologize ahead of time to any non-parishioners who may be looking in on these Touchstones, but today’s may be of little interest to those who aren’t parishioners.
Livestream Easter Mass with Zoom Videoconferencing
Parish Center lighting, carpet, AV equipment and space!
We are nearing the end of our long building project. In fact, there is a good chance it will be ready for us before we actually return! This month we were hoping to do some “sneak peeks” at the building, and so I thought we could do that today. On Easter Monday, with almost no one there, I went over with my trusty phone camera and videoed (spell check swears that word is spelled right, but it looks so strange!).
I didn’t go downstairs, as there were a few workers still in there and I didn’t want to “crowd the social distancing.” However, I hope you’ll enjoy this short video.
I’ve done my best to include a map with a small animated arrow that keeps you knowing what it is you’re looking at and where you are in relation to the buildings we know.
If you look past the construction clutter, you can see carpet is down, paint is up and most of the kitchen appliances are in. So I hope you will get a chance to experience a little excitement about the new space out of which we will minister in the future.
Finally, I would like to invite you to our next livestream mass this Saturday, April 18th at 4:30pm. MPB is offering three ways to participate in weekend masses during the stay-at-home order. See below for more details.
God bless,
Fr. Pat
MPB Livestream Videoconference Mass
- On Saturdays at 4:30pm we will livestream and record a virtual mass using Zoom videoconferencing. More info and a song book will be available by Friday and the mass will stream here: https://mpbdenver.org/our-parish/virtual-worship/.
- You may choose to be a part of the virtual assembly that is streamed live from our homes with Fr. Pat and the liturgical ministers who are also at their homes. The assembly will be muted but we will be seen participating with our responses, singing and a few simple gestures. While it isn't just like being at MPB, it is the closest we have, and it can be a powerful experience. "Seats" are limited so signup HERE and you'll be sent a Zoom link and more instructions by Friday morning.
- We will record the livestream and it will be posted by Sunday mornings on our website HERE for anyone to watch on demand for the remainder of the week.
Please send us any questions to tstone@mpbdenver.org.
