Catholics around Australia will be able to watch Easter services live on national television from St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.
In a 7NEWS special, the top-rating network will stream The Lord's Passion at 3 pm on Good Friday and Easter Sunday Mass from 10.30 am across the country on Channel 7, Prime 7 in regional areas, and live-streamed on 7plus.
Both liturgies will be broadcast commercial-free and in their entirety.
Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP welcomed the partnership, saying he was grateful to the network for recognising the importance to Catholics in the commemoration of Good Friday and the celebration of Easter Sunday Mass.
"These national broadcasts mean people of all ages and no matter where they live or are currently isolating will now be able to participate in the Mass," Archbishop Fisher said.
"I know it will be especially welcome news to those living in nursing homes and aged care facilities who will especially be feeling the sting of separation from family over Easter, due to the restrictions on visits, and whose connection to their faith remains strong.
"All Australians are experiencing hardship at this time as we seek to limit the spread of the Coronavirus and many people are being asked to make great sacrifices such as our health professionals working long hours and risking their own health.
"Another sacrifice for people of faith is being unable to gather physically to celebrate the sacraments or even to spend time praying in a church. But by televising these services, it means we can spiritually come together to maintain our life of prayer and worship and strengthen our communion with one another."
Network 10 broadcasts Mass for You at Home each Sunday at 6 am. But aside from rare occasions such as the papal visits of popes Paul VI in 1970, John Paul II in 1986 and Benedict XVI for World Youth Day 2008, the live broadcast of Easter services on a national network in Australia is unprecedented.
"… BY TELEVISING THESE SERVICES, IT MEANS WE CAN SPIRITUALLY COME TOGETHER"
Director of 7NEWS Sydney, Jason Morrison, said that Easter is the most sacred time of the year on the liturgical calendar.
"With public gatherings and church services currently closed in response to the pandemic, the 7NEWS team is proud to help the Church to bring these important services to homes across the country," Mr Morrison said.
Those wanting to view the liturgies online can visit https://7plus.com.au/.
The cathedral continues to live-stream Mass daily at 9am and each Sunday at 10.30am at www.stmaryscathedral.org.au. It will also live-stream Mass of the Lord's Supper at 6.30pm on April 9 and The Stations of the Cross at 10am on Good Friday, April 10 as well as The Lord's Passion liturgy and Easter Sunday Mass.

Celebrating HOLY WEEK and EASTER - AT HOME – 2020 -
For Prayer and Reflection at home During Holy Week:
Please share these resources widely.
These resources have been produced by Liturgy Brisbane to enable families to celebrate simple liturgies at home for Holy Week.
Holy Week At Home
"Australia was founded at a time when the Mass could not be celebrated on these shores. Following the most recent advice from the commonwealth and state governments, it may seem that we are again in that situation. But where our forefathers and mothers waited for years to receive the Holy Eucharist, it will be at worst a matter of months for us. But just as prayer sustained them through those times, so can it for us today. The spirit of those first Australian Catholics should inspire us through the times ahead." (Quote from Archdiocese of Sydney message).
We also have the liturgies of Holy Week and Easter in an audio-podcast created here in our parish. Also, the Cathedral in Brisbane will be streaming live the Liturgies at various times. Also, "Mass for You at Home" is broadcast on Channel 10 each Sunday from 6 am. There are several live-streaming and on-demand services for daily Mass both locally and from around the English-speaking world.
