Holy Mass is the memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. When Holy Mass is celebrated, Christ’s redemption becomes reality for each individual person.
A Mass Intention is the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist for the repose of the soul of the deceased, for the sick, or for a special anniversary.
Request a Mass Intention
Mass intention requests are accepted for available weekday and weekend Masses on a rolling three-month calendar. As a large Parish, we offer three intentions a year per household/family.

After you include first and last name in the “Requested by” field, phrases like “Mom” or “His family” can be added. Once you have completed this section, click “Submit”.

About Mass Intentions
Holy Mass is the memorial of the Passion, Death and Resurrection of Christ. When Holy Mass is celebrated, Christ’s redemption becomes reality for each individual person.
A Mass Intention is the celebration of the Most Holy Eucharist for the repose of the soul of the deceased, for the sick, or for a special anniversary. It is an ancient Christian tradition for the faithful to make an offering and Canon law guides our Church and our Parish in this matter.
  • We are happy to receive your request for a particular time and date. However, that the date and time you desire may already be taken and, according to Canon Law, a priest may receive one intention per offering at a Mass.
  • Our Catholic faith teaches us that the graces of the Mass are infinite. Of course you are welcome, indeed you are encouraged, to come to Mass on a particular date to offer the liturgy privately for your personal intention. The faithful also may place the name and purpose of their intentions in the blue Book of Prayer made available at the church every day.
  • It is customary to offer a donation in gratitude for the Mass Intention. Please note: It is not the price you pay for Mass; therefore, it is entirely up to you to decide the amount of your gift. With appreciation, donations contribute to the good of the Parish and they support her works and ministers.
