Mass Intentions and Sanctuary & Pieta Candle Requests
The 2025 Mass Intention and Candle Book is now open. Please call or stop in the parish office to schedule!
Mass Intention Requests
Effective immediately, the policy regulating requests for Mass Intentions is suspended. There is no longer a limit as to how many masses an individual may request. Requests will be granted based on availability when the request is received. Requests must be made by either stopping in the office or calling. Keep in mind, if you phone in your request it will not be guaranteed until payment has been received.
Have a blessed day.
Have a blessed day.
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.
