Please accept our sincere apologies for this mornings disruption in the livestream at St. Monica. We know there are thousands that turn to St. Monica to provide an online Mass experience each Sunday and I am sorry our technology disappointed many today. We hope the following information provides clarity and assurance that we are doing our best to serve you! #StillStMonica

Our Livestream studio workstation crashed, interrupting this morning's stream. A reboot was needed on two major pieces of hardware. The stream successfully restarted on Livestream.com and Facebook within minutes.
Our dedicated audience flooded our website all at once, also causing it to crash—therefore the embedded players on that site, as well as short-links like stmonica.net/mass were inaccessible. We realize that nearly two-thirds of our viewers had difficulty rejoining the livestream.
YES—in fact, all technology was restored before the end of Mass. This evening's 5:30 p.m. Mass, with presider Fr. Dave Ayotte will stream as expected.
You may return to the platform on which you're most comfortable, where the 9:30 a.m. Mass is archived for viewing on-demand. Here are direct links for your convenience:
