Online streaming update as of 7/31/20.

We have one week under our belts with the use of Youtube. We realize that there was “white noise” with the live video last week. Depending on your device it may have been barely noticeable, but we knew it was there. With the help of Tim (who unfortunately will be leaving us Monday), we have tried several different things to remove the white noise in the background. At this point it not been completely removed.  After consultation with an audio specialist we believe it will be resolved next week. Unfortunately that does not change it for this weekend.

There is some good news though – one of the benefits of changing to Youtube Live is that within 24 hours of our posting the videos (often sooner) they will have closed captions. So if the background sound is too bothersome for you this week, please wait until Sunday and watch it with the closed captions.

Thank you for your patience with the changes we have made throughout out recording and transmitting the Masses live. It has been quite a learning curve, but one we have been happy to undertake in an effort to provide the best possible video for our parish family and friends.

Please know that whether you celebrate Mass in church or spiritually you are all in our prayers.

Masks required at all Masses beginning 8/1/20.

As you are aware Gov. Tony Evers enacted a mandate requiring individuals wear face coverings when indoors at any public gathering.  In response to that mandate, Bishop William Callahan issued a statement with guidelines to be followed by all churches within our diocese.  Bishop William Callahan’s official statement can be found here.

With this in mind, Holy Name of Jesus will require that anyone entering the church over the age of 5 years old wears a mask, beginning with the 8:00 a.m. Mass on Saturday, August 1, 2020.

It would be greatly appreciated if you would come with your own mask as the current supply Holy Name has on hand is minimal.  If we run out we will have to turn people without a mask away.

Thank you for your understanding!
