During the celebration of Mass, priests can apply the grace of that Mass towards a specific intention. Many people requests intentions for the repose of the souls of deceased family members and friends. But Mass Intentions can also be for special intentions for the living, such as for healing, or to mark a wedding anniversary or birthday. Mass Intentions for living individuals are offered to God as prayers of intercession and thanksgiving.
Mass Intentions may be requested for any day except:
Good Friday (the Church does not celebrate Mass on Good Friday)
Easter
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas
Mass Intentions requested for a day during the current week cannot be included in the bulletin as it has already been published. If you would like your intention to be included in the bulletin, it should be requested by the Monday of the week prior.
If you have more than one date for the same person or married couple, please request multiple intentions.
