Mass intentions are a form of alms-giving through which one contributes to the good of the church by supporting its ministers and its works.

For what occasion does one request a Mass?

You may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons: for example, in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as a birthday or anniversary), or, as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.

Directions for requesting a Mass Intention online

While there is no charge for Mass Intentions, it is customary to make a donation. When you click "REQUEST A MASS INTENTION" it will take you to our Mass Intentions Calendar. After you submit the request, there will be a Donation Button on the last page. If you are selecting more than one Mass Intention you don't need to make the donation after each request, but you may do so once you have selected all of our Requests.
