Of all the parishes in Sydney, St Joachim's at Lidcombe is known as the first to hold Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration. Relatives and friends who cannot get to Lidcombe for a funeral can watch our stream instead.
About St Joachim's Catholic Church
The church building dates from about 1926. It replaced an earlier church from 1884, so Lidcombe has had a Catholic church for well over a century. St Joachim's belongs to the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, and funerals are held in the 1920s church.
St Joachim's keeps Saturdays for funerals and weddings, which suits families whose relatives work during the week. For any service there we arrive early with at least three cameras and our own mobile internet. People who cannot make it to Lidcombe watch on a private link, and the family keeps the recording.

Questions families ask
Can a funeral at St Joachim's, Lidcombe be live streamed?
Yes. Before the day, your funeral director asks the parish priest at St Joachim's whether filming is fine. Once the parish agrees, we take care of the rest. We set up before mourners arrive, stream the Mass to a private link, and send the family a recording afterwards.
What days does St Joachim's hold funerals?
The Lidcombe parish reserves Saturdays for funerals and weddings. For other days, your funeral director asks the parish what is free and confirms the time. We film on whatever day the parish agrees to, and we keep the stream running until the coffin has left the church.
