The Full Story

About Tech Ministry

It all started in the Our Lady of Hope Chapel, using a single iPhone attached to a DJI Osmo Gimble, which then became two iPhone attached to a computer running OBS with better audio.

Then it was time to move back into the church, which meant a few more weeks of using that single iPhone attached to the DJI Gimble, again.

After a few weeks of taking a step back, we began to move forward using PTZ Optics cameras, tied into OBS. Followed by the introduction of a dozen TVs, in the church, which was aided by the use of Faithlife Proclaim presentation software, which allowed us display bulletin items, mass parts and song lyrics for those attending mass.

We then linked both the Proclaim PC and the Streaming PC together, to provide those watching on our Live Stream, to get the experience as those in church.

The Final piece of the puzzle was the creation of a Video Production Studio, complete with green screen, lights and a camera for us to shoot our own in house videos. Production on these videos will begin shortly.

As a team, we now have around dozen volunteers that do everything from assist with installing new technology, running the screens in church, producing the live stream, etc. We always looking for more help, if you are interested, please submit a form on our Join the Team page.

For more details about everything we do, please see the list below.

To see what all went into our setup and a special thank you to all who helped, please check out How We Got Here Page.
