Live video-stream from Le Barroux available again

The Benedictine monks of the Abbey of Le Barroux are once again providing a live video-stream for the daily conventual high Mass (preceded by the short office of Terce) in addition to their regular audio-stream of the daily Offices. A great opportunity to experience the perfection of the liturgy and the chant. Do take advantage of this now. The Mass is generally at 8.30am (weekdays) and 9.00am (Sundays and feast days); follow the link under Gregorian chant in the time of Coronavirus on this page.
