Funeral live streaming at St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
Italian-Australian families have been a big part of St Anthony of Padua at Austral since the parish formed in 1965. We stream funerals from the church for local families and for relatives who cannot travel out to Austral.
About St Anthony of Padua Catholic Church
St Anthony of Padua became a parish in 1965, when this corner of south-west Sydney was still semi-rural. The Italian-Australian community has always been strong here, and the parish still holds an Italian-language Mass on the first Monday of each month. Austral is now a growth area, and the parish is growing with it.
A funeral at Austral often brings together older Italian-speaking relatives and younger family who have moved across Sydney. Some families also have relatives in Italy. For them, a private link is the simplest way to watch, and the recording helps with the time difference. We bring at least three cameras and our own mobile internet.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Anthony of Padua, Austral be live streamed?
Yes. Your funeral director checks with the parish priest before the day that filming is fine. With that done, we arrive early, set up, and stream the funeral Mass to a private link. The family gets a recording afterwards to send to anyone who missed it.
Can parts of a funeral at St Anthony's be in Italian?
The parish holds an Italian-language Mass on the first Monday of each month, so Italian is part of parish life. Ask your funeral director to raise Italian readings or prayers with the priest. We film whatever language the service is in, and the recording captures all of it.
