Live Stream - In late 2017, we began to live stream Masses and other liturgies celebrated at St Mary’s. Most of these streams remain available on our Facebook page, but Facebook have announced that they will be deleting old live stream videos in the coming weeks and months. If there is a stream you would like us to download, please email Office.StMarysBoness@staned.org.uk with the date and description of the service which was streamed. Please do so as soon as possible to avoid disappointment!
