Funeral live streaming at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church
Carmelite friars have run Our Lady of Mount Carmel at 4 Bennett Street, Wentworthville, since 1956. We stream funerals from the church for families across Wentworthville, Westmead, Pendle Hill and Toongabbie.
About Our Lady of Mount Carmel Catholic Church
The parish was set up in 1946 under the name St Columba's. Ten years later the Carmelite friars took it over, and they still staff it. Our Lady of Mount Carmel sits in the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta, and its parish takes in Westmead, Pendle Hill and Toongabbie as well as Wentworthville.
With a catchment that size, a funeral can draw people from several suburbs, and not all of them can get there. We set up before the family arrives and stream the Mass to a private link. A recording goes to the family afterwards for anyone who missed it live.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at Our Lady of Mount Carmel, Wentworthville be live streamed?
Yes. Filming needs the parish's agreement, so your funeral director raises it with the Carmelite friars or the parish office while booking the Mass. Once they agree, there is nothing else for the family to organise. We get to Bennett Street before the family, and the private link is ready to send before the Mass starts.
Who runs Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish?
The Carmelite friars have staffed the Wentworthville parish since 1956, within the Catholic Diocese of Parramatta. Your funeral director will deal with a friar or the parish office about filming. On the day we fit in around the way the friars run the funeral Mass and stay out of the sanctuary.
