The Church teaches that a priest may offer a Mass for a particular intention of the Christian faithful. “The Christian faithful who give an offering to apply the Mass for their intention contribute to the good of the Church and by that offering share its concern to support its ministers and works” (Canon 946). Please read the following guidelines for requesting that a Mass be offered for your intention.

We will open the Mass book on a quarterly basis to schedule intentions:

• Couples celebrating a significant wedding anniversary at or around their anniversary.
• Families commemorating the one-year anniversary of a loved one’s death.
• Intentions that need to be rescheduled due to a Mass cancellation

• Only ONE of those intentions may be scheduled on a Vigil or Sunday Mass.
• One or all of the intentions may be scheduled on a weekday Mass.

1. Wait until the next quarterly opening of the Mass Intention Book to contact our office.
2. Contact another parish to schedule the intention.
3. Have our parish office forward your intention and payment to the Diocesan Mission Office for a priest who is not assigned to our parish to offer Mass for your intention.

• Schedule ONE Mass for “John and Jane Doe” rather than one Mass for each.
• Schedule ONE Mass for “The [deceased] members of…” in place of individual persons.

• Holy Thursday Mass (For our Priests)             
• Easter Vigil Mass (For the Newly Baptized and Professed)
• Memorial Day (For all Military)
• Mother’s Day (For all Mothers Living & Deceased)
• Father’s Day (For all Fathers Living & Deceased)
• Independence Day (July 4 – For our Nation)
• Labor Day (For the Dignity of Workers)
• All Souls Mass (Nov 2 – For All Souls)
• Thanksgiving Day Mass (For the People of the Parish)

Please contact our parish office to schedule a Mass intention.

Office open Tuesday through Thursday from 9:30 am – 12:30 pm

We will do our best to accommodate scheduling your Mass intention on or around the date you request, or assist you in forwarding your intention to the Diocesan Mission Office to have a priest outside of our parish fulfill the Mass intention.

Occasionally, intentions must be rescheduled due to a Mass cancellation. We will notify you in a timely manner if the Mass at which your intention is scheduled is affected. You will have the option to reschedule the intention for a later date, or have the intention and your Mass offering returned to you or forwarded to the Diocesan Mission Office.

A $10.00 Mass offering per intention is due at the time of scheduling.
