Summary

From December 31, 2020 through December 19, 2021, Beaver Island News on the Net and Beaver Island TV shared livestreams and recordings of Holy Cross Masses and Beaver Island Christian Church services. The forum notices supplied a remote media channel during the pandemic, identified several service leaders and times, recorded a weather-related priest absence, and reported a temporary technical interruption to the TV playlist, and continued linking services into late December, while preserving the island’s dependence on power and internet for live transmission.

Evidence limits

These are contemporaneous community-media relays. They establish that the services were announced as livestreamed or recorded and that links were shared, but not attendance, complete liturgical contents, or uninterrupted availability.
