The Church in Wales’ website provides some links, recently increased in number, to both live streaming and recorded services. The link to that page is given here:

 

Since members might prefer to have a wider choice, would rather visit live streaming services at a different time of day or simply know where they can view particular recorded services, we provide a ‘tried and tested’ selection here.

 

To host these, some parishes live-stream from their own website, some prefer YouTube and several use Facebook - using the links provided here, you will not need to be a member of Facebook or YouTube in order to gain access. Some streams or recordings may require a little more patience to obtain the desired sound level (a large empty church versus a small room in the vicarage). For those using PCs or laptops, many streams and recordings may viewed in ‘full screen’ mode: this option can usually be selected from a symbol in the bottom right-hand corner.   

 

To visit a website shown: either 'point and click' on the link shown (and this should open the webpage in a new 'tab') or, if not, copy the chosen link (shown underlined in blue, below) and then paste it into the address bar of a blank web page and press ‘enter’.

 

The number assigned to an entry below does not denote any particular order of preference.

MONASTIC COMMUNITIES:

Each of the seven Daily Offices [from Lauds at 5 am Local French time through to Compline at 18.45 Local French time] are sung in Latin and streamed daily (sound only). Recordings of offices recited during the past three days are also available.

Our comment: The bell rings, the brothers make a little noise as they enter the abbey church and then, after some coughing, settle down. The singing is wonderful and tremendously up-lifting: so feel free to use a high volume!
