A majority of churches in the Diocese of East Anglia are now live streaming their Masses online and there is a new way of finding out what is available and when.
Over the past couple of years, an increasing number of Diocese of East Anglia churches have started live streaming Masses online.
Now the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales has produced a very useful searchable guide to Masses across the whole county, including East Anglia.
It’s easy to search just using your postcode or by selecting a diocese. Narrow down your search results by selecting the Mass Type (Daily, Vigil or Sunday) and you can select from the available languages.
