Live Stream

The Live Stream feed at St. Michael's has had some hiccups as of late.

The streaming software was upgraded by the company we use. Through this transition there has been some interruptions and malfunctions.

The 9:00 am Sunday Mass (April 11th) was streamed, however it did not show up on our website feed. It did stream to Facebook and YouTube.

Going forward, please know that technology isn't perfect and often there is nothing we can do to fix issues on the weekend. Therefore, for those who rely on the live stream, please have a back up plan! Mass is broadcast on TV and on other websites. Plan on using your back up plan if St. Michael's Live Stream is not working. Contacting the priests will not help as there is nothing they can do to fix the problem. You could send an email to: parishoffice@stmichaelsgf.com, however it might not get answered until the weekday.

New:

St. Michael's Church website live stream looks different than it has before.

There is one page where you can view the stream "live" (at the time it is actually happening) and another page where you can view the event AFTER it has been recorded. (Note: If you are using a link that was published in the past, that is no longer functioning. Please go directly to our website for the new link. Click the button below.)

Reminder: If St. Michael's live stream is not working and you have checked all three sites (Website, Facebook and YouTube), please use your back up plan.

I hope this helps! If you are still having problems, please ask a friend or family member to help you out!

The links below are all included on the Parish Website on the main page should you delete this email. stmichaelschurchgf.com
