Funeral live streaming at St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church
Some of the stone in St Charles Borromeo at Ryde came from the 1857 church that first stood on the site. We have filmed funerals in the 1934 church for families from Ryde, Gladesville and further out.
About St Charles Borromeo Catholic Church
The first church on the site opened in 1857. The present building went up in 1934, and the builders reused stone from the original. St Charles Borromeo is one of two churches in the combined parish of Ryde and Gladesville. The other is Our Lady Queen of Peace at Gladesville.
The Ryde parish keeps Saturdays for funerals and weddings, so a Saturday funeral may have another booking close behind it. We set up early and pack down quickly so the church is clear on time. Children and grandchildren who have moved away from Ryde can watch on the private link.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Charles Borromeo, Ryde be live streamed?
Yes. We have streamed funerals at St Charles Borromeo. The parish priest has the final say on filming, so your funeral director checks with the Ryde parish before the day. From there we handle the cameras, the stream and the recording, and the family just shares the link.
Can a funeral at St Charles Borromeo be held on a Saturday?
