Beginning April 5^th, 2020 Zoom app requires password automatically added to each streaming. The best way to join streaming is to click on the link in each email with the invitation sent to you, or to click on the link on our web page. Then you don’t need to manually add any password nor meeting ID. However, if you prefer to enter manually the meeting ID and password in your Zoom app on any device, you can still do it, remembering that meeting ID and password are always the same for each streaming from Saint Valentine’s in Philadelphia or Our Saviour in Lawrenceville. Just in time of liturgy, according to our schedule, join the meeting clicking on the link in the email or on our website or enter the credentials manually.

For all our deceased relatives

On Friday night we had our first online streaming. It was very successful. Therefore, we can stream all our Sunday Masses the same way. Just please read carefully the following instructions. 

All you have to do is:
1. To download to your computer (Windows or Mac) or to your smartphone (Apple or Android) the app called Zoom, or just to open the webpage zoom.us and click on Join a Meeting. Then follow the instruction on the screen. 

2. You can set up your account but it’s not necessary. All Parish Committee Members are obliged to set the account because we will be using this for all our meetings. 

3. For each Sunday Mass streaming you will receive an email with an invitation and credentials. (If you are on our mailing list) Also you can click the link on our parish website. 

4. Click the link and join the meeting. If password is required, please type the password. You can find password in the email with invitation. Password is to prevent intruders and jokers who can attend this streaming and make some inappropriate comments.

5. IMPORTANT!Make sure to mute your microphone and disconnect your video to let the streaming go smooth. If you leave your microphone on, we all will hear you and this will for sure interfere the liturgy. In this case you will be banned and disconnected. In the future we can change this rule, so you all can participate by answering and interacting, like you normally do in the church.

6. Just in case you are disconnected click one more time the link in this email or type the Meeting ID and password.

You can share the link with others. We are limited to 100 attendees.  Please share with me the emails of others who want to receive an invitation for each Sunday Mass streaming.

Younger Parishioners and those who are tech savvy please remotely help our elders to set their computers or smartphones in order to watch my streamings.
All, please make sure that people will know about this new form of liturgy in our parish. If our older parishioners cannot make their devices ready, they can asked their children or grandchildren to help them.
Sunday’s broadcast will be for the first time. Please treat it as a test, like Friday’s Stations broadcast.  I cannot guarantee the smooth streaming because the Internet and Zoom app are overloaded recently. If something goes wrong please be patient. We all have to learn now some new forms of communication and some new forms of worshipping too. 
If this app won’t work for us we will find something else. My point is, I am with you, and we will go through this difficult time together. You are good people and you deserved to have a Holy Mass on Sunday offered for you and your Families and you have to be assured that your priest in your church prays for you. After the Mass is over we can unmute our microphones and talk to each other. Please feel free to make your comments via email.
