Daily Mass Intentions
|
[Updated 10/01/2021]
2021 Mass Intentions: We have booked 2021 Mass Intentions through the end of September at this time. There are still several dates available between October and December, however most, if not all, of the weekend masses are already booked. If you are interested in booking a mass intention for a specific date, please contact Sue in the Parish office for date availability. A PDF copy of our 2021 & 2022 "Mass Intention Request Forms” are available on this page to download from our website. Please print and submit the appropriate form and list three (3) date choices for each mass, who the mass is "for" and who it is "by", and submit the form (along with your payment) to the Church Office. A copy of the final mass request form will be mailed to you with the dates assigned at the time they are processed (upon request). Funeral Mass Requests received by the family from the Funeral may be submitted in the individual envelopes provided by the funeral home OR visit Sue in the Church Office with a list of "mass submitted by" names, OR download, complete and drop off a PDF copy of our “Funeral Mass Request Form” on this page and submit with your payment(s) via mail, insert in the mail slot in our Church Office door or in the Collection Box in the Church or Chapel clearly marked "Funeral Masses". Please see #8 in the Mass Stipend Policy below for complete details for Funeral Mass Requests. Each “Funeral Mass Request Form” has space for 5 mass intentions. If you have more, please complete and submit additional forms as needed. IMPORTANT: Please do not hold funeral masses . . . submit ALL funeral mass requests together at the same time. Funeral masses do not count toward the allotted 2 mass intentions per parishioner. However, f they are held until way after the funeral, or request specific dates, they will count toward the two mass intentions. 2022 Mass Intentions: On Wednesday, September 1st, we opened our 2022 Mass Intentions and Candle Requests Calendar! Thank you for submitting your mass & candle requests and your patience in getting them processed. IMPORTANT!!! Please note that we are not assigning 2022 dates at this time due to several recent funeral masses still coming in which need to be processed to 2021 first. Please continue to drop off completed forms listing 3 dates for each mass requested (in order of importance), along with your payment via check or cash (no credit cards) through our mail slot in the front door of the Church Office, drop them in the collection basket or mail them to us. ALL completed forms for 2022 Mass & Candle Requests are dated and numbered upon receipt so that the masses are processed in the order received. A copy of the processed paperwork will be mailed to you upon completion so you have record of the dates assigned, which is also your receipt for payment. Every effort will be made to accommodate your requested dates, however remember the 2022 dates are available on a first come, first serve basis, so there is no “guarantee” your date(s) will be available. A copy of your completed form with the dates assigned will be sent to you via mail or email, upon request, and can be used as your payment receipt, as well, for your records. If you provide your email address, a PDF copy of the processed form(s) will be emailed to you. Forms for 2022 Mass Intentions and Candle Requests are available in the Church and Chapel, as well as in the church office and here on our website. |
Please do NOT use the "2021 Mass Request Form" and the "2021 Candle Request Form" for 2022 requests.
2022 requests will NOT be accepted until September 1st.
The Funeral Mass Request Form will NOT be changing in 2022, so feel free to continue using this form into 2022.

Mass Stipend Policy for Prince of Peace
(08/30/2020)
Introduction: It is a constant practice that a special “intention” is added to each mass celebrated. These mass intentions are a way to specially pray for a deceased loved one, or a special occasion in a person’s life, such as a birthday or anniversary. Many of our parishioners have offered mass intentions for many years throughout the history of our parish. We are blessed as a parish to have more people who want intentions for masses than we have masses celebrated in our parish. We have a number of rules that our parish is subject to under Canon Law on how mass intentions are to be handled. Therefore, we have to set a fair and manageable method of determining which intentions will be celebrated. This policy will help clarify the rules for mass intentions, and our own parish policy.
1. According to Canon Law, all mass intentions must be celebrated within one year of receipt. As the liturgical year begins on the First Sunday of
Advent, a date will be announced each fall when the “Mass Book” is opened. We cannot schedule future dates until the “book opening” date each year.
2. The customary gift (stipend) for a mass intention is $10.00.
3. Every Sunday, one of the masses intentions must be “Pro Populo” or “For the People.” No other intentions can be scheduled for that mass.
4. Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Easter Vigil, and All Souls Day have specific intentions prescribed by the Church. We cannot schedule specific
intentions for those days.
5. Every registered parishioner (adults and children) is welcome to schedule up to 2 mass intentions each at Prince of Peace on a first-come first-
serve basis. One of those masses can be a Sunday Mass (per family), while available. The other is to be a daily mass.
a. For the purpose of this policy, a person is considered a registered parishioner if they have a census form on file at the parish, and their family has at
least 1 contribution on record of any amount in the previous 12 months.
b. Masses are generally scheduled 1-2 months out. Therefore, it is rare for dates to be available within 1-2 months.
6. Non-Parishioners are welcome to request mass intentions. We cannot reserve specific dates for those intentions, and we cannot guarantee
that those masses will be said at Prince of Peace. We will do our best to schedule them as space allows. If we cannot schedule those masses at
Prince of Peace, we reserve the right to send those masses to other diocesan parishes, ministries, or to the missions.
7. Parishioners are welcome to request mass intentions beyond their initial 2 intentions. We will accept those requests, following the same rules as
non-parishioner requests in item #6 above.
8. Following a funeral mass, the next of kin may designate an additional mass intention to be said for the deceased. This mass intention will not
“count” toward that parishioner’s two scheduled mass intentions. Additional masses for the deceased will be scheduled as space is available,
following the same rules as non-parishioner intentions in item #6 above.
* Unfortunately, we do not accept credit cards and cannot accept mass intention payments via online Giving. Checks or cash are acceptable.
It is our hope that this policy strikes a balance, making sure that all parishioners who wish to have a mass intention offered for their loved ones are able to schedule a time, while not turning away anyone who wishes to have masses offered.
