Purpose and Formation – The Digital Ministry Team is an integral part of the parish Worship Ministry. Its central purpose is to live-stream weekly worship services, as well as special events such as concerts and Evensong. The Broadcast Team was formed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic shutdown. In the earliest days, broadcasts were simple, featuring only the rector, who was recorded outdoors using a tripod and iPad.
Progress and Development – Following these initial steps, the parish hired a professional production company to handle live-streaming of services. At the same time, a committee was created to select a contractor responsible for installing new broadcast equipment and providing training in live production for church volunteers. Jacques LeBlanc and Terry Nicholson took on the task of building the parish’s broadcast booth.
Team Structure and Operations – Currently, the team is made up of fourteen volunteers. Of these, five serve as producers who collectively manage the team by consensus. For each service or event, a team is assembled consisting of a producer, a camera operator, and a sound operator. The team is responsible for all aspects of in-person audio and live-stream production for weekly worship. Our guiding principle is to capture the essence of Holy Family’s services, ensuring that everyone can enjoy them—no matter where they are located.
