MASS BOOKINGS AND INTENTIONS
When a Mass is booked and a stipend is paid, the Mass is offered on the day and time requested and the intention is announced at the Mass. The priest may only keep one Mass stipend per day, and when there is more than one Mass booked, the Mass intention is said also later in the week by the priest or in some cases, the Mass and offering is said and received by a priest in the missions or by a priest in Ukraine where we also send our Signed Mass Card offerings.
For this reason and to avoid confusion, we do not include ‘also pray for’ in our Masses or in our newsletters, except when we remember those who died recently. We can all remember our loved ones at every Mass we attend. Thank you for your understanding.
