From the Office

With the summer months looming, if you are a Eucharistic Minister, a lector or altar server, please notify the office in advance if you plan on
traveling and will be gone. I try to keep a rotation schedule ready for 3 months at a time and this will help me keep these spots filled. I'm an organizer so I like to keep things planned in advance. Thank 
you!

Mass Intentions
What are Mass intentions?

When a priest celebrates Mass each day, he offers each Sacrifice of the Mass for a particular person, or intention. By doing so special graces from God are applied upon that person or intention. The act of offering prayers for the dead at Mass goes back to AD 235. Canon Law also confirms this practice and states, “In accord with the approved practice of the Church, any priest celebrating, or concelebrating is permitted to receive an offering to apply the Mass for a specific intention” (Can. 945 §1).

For whom can I request a Mass be offered? Anyone may ask a priest to offer a Mass for several reasons. For example, Masses can be offered in thanksgiving, for the intentions of another person (such as on a birthday), or as is most common, for the repose of the soul of someone who has died.

Mass Intentions are $10. Please contact the Parish Office if you would like to offer a Mass intention.
