Imagine Jesus in front of you and saying this…..

“I know at times it has been hard for you this year. There were many days where you felt like your back was completely against the wall and you had no more strength left to Keep going. I was with you through every month this year, and I’m with you now. Things will get better. Trust me. I didn’t help you up to this point just to leave you now. Even if at times it seems like I am silent, have faith, I am always with you. I love you”.

Wishing you peace and hope as we enter the New Year

The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the toughest privacy and security law in the world. Though it was drafted and passed by the European Union (EU), it imposes obligations onto organisations anywhere, so long as they target or collect data related to people in the EU. The regulation was put into effect on May 25, 2018. The GDPR will levy harsh fines against those who violate its privacy and security standards, with penalties reaching into the tens of millions of euros.

St Patrick’s Church is equipped with a web camera to Livestream our Masses and other ceremonies. We use the services of Church Services Tv to livestream and connect with our parishioners at home and abroad. As our camera is connected to WIFI and livestreams our Masses on the internet we updated our GDPR policy
