July 28, 2020 - If you’ve watched Mass online in the last week, you’ve likely noticed the much improved video quality of our liturgies that are posted online. It is thanks to several staff members, volunteers, and financial contributors that the project is nearing completion. Thank you to Shane Akin and Mick Mulder in their assistance installing the new system, and thank you to Bob Moore, Susan Reiser, Jeff and Julie Kliegl, and Alana Kliegl in managing the live-streams for each liturgy.
We are excited to offer live-streaming so that those who are worshipping from home can continue to share in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist from St. Joseph Catholic Church. This ministry has not only been a welcome addition to live-stream our daily and weekend Masses, it has served our parish in the event of First Communion and funeral liturgies when many could not make it because of distance or health-related reasons.
We are excited to make these upgrades as it’s just another way we can share our faith with those who may not be able to join us in person for any reason, aligning with our parish mission and vision statement: “We are committed to proclaiming the Good News of Jesus Christ and invite you to join us! May the Holy Spirit lead us in living as a welcoming Catholic community.”Our new system is very user friendly, and can be managed by volunteers of all technical backgrounds and levels. If you are interested in volunteering or have questions, please contact Cain in the parish office at cain@stjosephmilford.org or 712.338.2274, ext. 11. Training is provided for all who wish to volunteer.
We are continually accepting donations to assist in the completion of the project, and then to provide continual updates, upgrades, and additions of equipment as we progress with the new ministry. To donate towards this ministry, please visit stjosephmilford.org/give and select the “Online Ministry” tab. Checks may also be mailed to the parish office:

We ask that you please reach out to us as far ahead as possible. Please contact Cain in the parish office by emailing cain@stjosephmilford.org or by calling 712.338.2274, ext 11. We do provide you with up front information that although most music falls under our parish licensing to live stream, in the event that a particular piece is not covered by our parish license, the family is responsible for paying for the rights required to perform said piece of music within the church proper. Due to licensing restrictions, no pre-recorded music is permitted in any liturgy or event that is live streamed. We ask that couple's who wish to explore the idea of having their wedding live-streamed pleae contact us at least three months in advance.

For further information on volunteering, or to sign up, please click here. Training is provided outside of the liturgies. Interested persons would also be paired with an experienced volunteer for the first couple of liturgies so as to help the new volunteer feel comfortable prior to being on their own. We designed a system that is easy to use, and very little technological experience is necessary to volunteer.
