Any Catholic may offer up the Mass in which he or she participates for any good intention. The custom of requesting a priest to offer the Mass for a specific intention, even when one cannot be physically present at the Mass, is a longstanding tradition in the Church because the Church considers the Mass as the greatest possible prayer of intercession insofar as it is the perfect offering of Christ to the Father by making present the paschal mystery of his death and resurrection.
To schedule a Mass intention, please use our online request form or contact the parish office. Because of the number of requests, Mass intentions are usually scheduled several months in advance. There is a suggested $10 stipend per Mass.
