Funeral live streaming at St Joseph's Catholic Church
St Joseph's parish in Rockdale traces back to the German-Australian Catholics who lived there in the 1880s. We stream funerals from the church on the corner of Walz and Parker Streets for St George families and their relatives elsewhere.
About St Joseph's Catholic Church
The parish grew out of the German-Australian Catholic community in Rockdale in the 1880s and has marked 125 years as a parish. The current church was built in 1967 on the corner of Walz and Parker Streets. It sits next to the parish primary school, which opened in 1929.
St Joseph's has served St George Catholics for generations, so a funeral here often brings together old school friends and several branches of one family. Some of them now live far from Rockdale. We stream the Mass to a private link, and the family keeps a recording.
