MASS INTENTIONS It is an ancient tradition of the Church that the faithful request a special intention for the Mass: for a deceased person, for a friend or family member’s physical or spiritual wellbeing, in thanksgiving, in honor of the Blessed Virgin or of a Saint, etc. The policy in our parish is the following: • The faithful are requested to come to the Parish Office or send the intention by mail. No phone orders. • It is important, though not necessary, to specify the name of the person for whom the faithful request the Mass Intention. • The intentions must be received with three weeks or one month in order to appear in the Bulletin the following Sunday and/or week. • The offering is $ 10.00 for Sunday Masses and $ 5.00 for weekday Masses. The celebrant will announce the Mass Intentions at the beginning of each Mass.
