Livestream Ministry

I encourage people to be prudent and pay attention to their health and safety. I want to give people the benefit of the doubt. If you’re feeling ill or the roads are unsafe for driving, you can download the BoxCast app on your favorite device or smart TV.

The subscription to BoxCast is $100 monthly. Each live broadcast is available for 60 days. BoxCast allows parishioners, friends and neighbors to add the BoxCast app to Apple TV, Roku, and Fire TV devices. Once the app is downloaded, search for FULDA or MEINRAD. You can also connect to BoxCast with a tablet or smartphone over Wi-Fi using a Chromecast or using Apple Airplay or clicking on the LIVE tab from the parish homepage.

Again, we thank the parishioners, friends and neighbors who have made a restricted gift for this ministry, often in honor of their parents or a loved one who is directly benefiting from this ministry due to age, infirmity or immunocompromising.

If you are watching Mass online and would like to make an electronic gift or if you would like to support our livestreaming ministry, please click/tap the link. Also, please remember to pray for all who make regular use of this ministry and join us in making an Act of Spiritual Communion. When a person cannot attend Mass, they still can receive the graces of the Eucharist by making a spiritual communion in long-term-care centers, a hospital room or at home.

An Act of Spiritual Communion is a desire to receive the Holy Eucharist at a time when a person cannot receive the body and blood of Christ. St. Thomas Aquinas defined Spiritual Communion as “an ardent desire to receive Jesus in the Holy Sacrament and a loving embrace as though we had already received him.”

Acts of Spiritual Communion can help us with the desire to receive sacramental Communion and help us avoid the sins that would make us unable to receive Holy Communion worthily, free from mortal sin, with the right intention and the free will to obey the Church’s laws on the fast required before Holy Communion out of reverence for the body and blood of Our Divine Lord. The Church provides when the possible seems to be impossible.
