MASS INTENTIONS
The greatest, most powerful and charitable prayer we have in the Catholic Church is the Eucharistic celebration called the Holy Mass, the Breaking of the Bread.
Mass Intentions may be requested for Sundays, most holy days, and weekdays throughout the year for the living and the dead, or in thanksgiving for God's blessings in life
such as a birthday, a wedding anniversary, during a time of illness, etc. Requesting a Mass is not only a sign of our flourishing faith, but of our generous heart for those who say these Masses. Mass offerings in the Diocese are typically $10
and can be scheduled by calling or emailing the parish office.
