Mass Intentions & Candles

 Mass Intentions and Sanctuary & Pieta Candle Requests



Call the office to schedule 2023 Mass Intentions. 
Effective January 1, 2023, forms will no longer be used or accepted for mass intentions or candle requests.


Mission Statement:  A special “intention” may be added to each mass celebration. This is in accordance with the practice of the Church to offer prayers for the deceased or for a special occasion of a living persons life such as anniversary of marriage or ordination. The guidelines below will be adhered to so that we may offer requested masses in a fair way to those who seek this intention.

2022-23 Mass Intention Request

Guidelines

​​

​​[effective 07/27/22; updated 09/29/22]:
  1. In accordance with Canon Law, all mass intentions must be celebrated within one year of receipt of the mass request. A date will be announced each fall when the “Mass book” will be opened. Future dates cannot be scheduled until the book is opened for the coming year.
  2. The mass stipend is $10.00 per mass.
  3. In accordance with Canon Law, each Sunday one of the masses must be “Pro Populo” or for the people of the parish. No other intentions may be scheduled with that mass. 
  4. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil and All Souls Day have specific intentions set by the Church. No other intentions may be scheduled on these days.
  5. Every registered Adult Parishioner (18+) is welcome to request up to two (2) Mass Intentions each year. Each parishioner is limited to one (1) Weekend Mass intention, if available, and one (1) Weekday Mass intention, (or two (2) weekday mass intentions) within the year. 
    1. A person is considered a registered parishioner if they have completed a current registration form and are in the REALM system. 
    2. One Mass may be requested by immediate family (mother, father, sibling or child) following a funeral and does not count toward the limit of two per year.
    3. Additional mass requests above the limit of two will be accepted and scheduled if available.  If there are no dates available, they will be sent out.
  6. Non-Parishioners are welcome to request mass intentions and will be scheduled as available or sent out if no times are available. 
  7. Any requested masses that are not able to be offered in the parish within the one-year time frame will be sent out to fulfill the one-year time requirement per Canon Law. Every effort will be made to honor and satisfy the request, but we must adhere to Canon Law. 
  8. Mass intentions are subject to change.  If a change is necessary, you will be notified so that your requested mass can be rescheduled.

Note: Mass Intention & Candle Request dates ​cannot be CONFIRMED  until full payment has been received. Cash or checks payable to "Prince of Peace Church" are acceptable. Unfortunately, are unable to accept credit or debit card payments or payments via online Giving.
