Vatican Videos & Homilies
Explore the Vatican – Live Content & Inspiring Insight
We are delighted to introduce our dedicated Vatican page — a central hub of live content, deep reflection and vital global Catholic news. Here at St Charles, we believe that our parish life is enriched when we stay connected with the universal Church, and this page is your window into the heart of that connection.
What you’ll find
On the page you’ll discover an expansive collection:
Papal Homilies & Podcasts – Listen to the words of the Holy Father via our links to the official Vatican site. These homilies provide rooted, pastoral direction — “We do not need to repeat plans; we need to renew hearts. Pastoral care is not maintenance — it is mission.” St Charles Borromeo
Latest Vatican News – We’ve embedded live feeds from Vatican News so you can follow developments in the Church worldwide: official announcements, missions, ecumenical work and social-justice initiatives. St Charles Borromeo
Vatican Videos – Watch selected video content directly or via YouTube. Whether it’s a Papal address, a major event in St Peter’s Square or a Vatican documentary, you’ll find it here. St Charles Borromeo
Why this matters
It may feel that our parish is miles away from Rome — but the universal Church is one body, and through this page we’re reaching across the miles. When we listen to the Gospel proclaimed in Rome, reflect on the Pope’s mission, and engage with the global news of the Church, we help bring that universal dimension into our local life. This isn’t just “foreign” content — it forms part of our spiritual nourishment, our call to mission, and our identity as Catholics in the world.
How you can engage
Listen to a homily or podcast each week, perhaps while driving or taking a coffee break.
Check the news feed to stay informed about the Church’s outreach, social justice endeavours or global mission.
Use one of the videos for an evening of reflection at home — invite a friend, watch together and discuss what stood out.
Share the page link with others in the parish or on social media to extend this living connection beyond our walls.
Let’s bring it home
After all, the work of the Church is not confined to our parish — it’s in every heart renewed, every world touched, every hand extended in compassion. Our Vatican page is more than a section of the website; it’s an invitation to become part of that story: to listen, to learn, to act.
We invite you to explore it, reflect on what you find, and bring any inspiration you gain back into our parish life here at St Charles. Together, let our local community be enriched by the global Church — and together let’s live its mission more fully.
