MASS
INTENTIONS
- The suggested donation
for Mass intentions are $20 for announced masses, which are said
here in the parish, and $10 for unannounced masses which will
be said at the discretion of the parish priests.
- No more than one name
is allowed per mass intention. It can be for husband and wife,
or for "members of the Smith family", but multiple names
for one mass is not allowed unless permission is granted by the
Archbishop's office.
- Intentions can be for
the deceased, for the living, or for the intentions for a person.
Masses which say 'in thanksgiving' should be discouraged as all
masses are in thanksgiving. The Masses for the pope, or for the
souls in purgatory are also not allowed as these are specifically
done within the cannon of every mass. Masses for the saints or
for either of the sacred hearts are not appropriate either, specific
devotions are said for these.
- Names of those who are
to be prayed for should be marked clearly. Those who are deceased
should have a cross before their names. It is not necessary for
the priests to have the name of those who requested the mass,
he announces only the intentions at mass. The names of those who
requested the mass may be published in the bulletin.
- All masses should be
booked through the parish office only. The Priests will not book
masses on Sunday.
- Mass cards for
the deceased and for special intentions should be available should
the person booking the mass request it. There are cards for both
announced and unannounced masses.
