2027 Mass Book Opening
The 2027 Mass Book will open on June 29, 2026. Mass intentions will be available for both deceased and living family members and friends. Remember mass intentions are not just for the deceased, but can and are offered for a variety of reasons, such as a birthday, a special anniversary, a healing intention for someone who is ill, or in thanksgiving – these are all valid reasons to have a mass offered for the “Special Intention of…”
As in previous years, we will continue the policy of not accepting intentions beyond 2027. All requested intentions should be paid in full at the time of the request; the bookkeeping for delayed payments is cumbersome and time-consuming. Payments be made by check, cash or credit card/debit card. The stipend per mass intention remains $10.00.
