Mass Intentions
Mass Intentions
It has long been a part of the Catholic tradition to offer Masses, especially for the deceased. People typically offer Masses for deceased family members or friends each year. For example, people may offer a Mass intention for a parent on their birthday or the anniversary date of their death.
You can also offer a Mass intention for the intentions of a living person. This is often done for a friend who may be going through a difficult time or illness.
When a person requests a Mass intention, they include with that request a stipend of $10. The stipend is then given to the priest who celebrates that particular Mass.
When you offer a Mass stipend, you can specify the date that the Mass will be offered if you choose. However, it is not required that you specify a date.
If you would like to offer a Mass intention, please stop by the Parish Office or call the Parish Secretary at 317-357-8352.
