Why Do People

Request Masses?

 It is a beautiful tradition in our Catholic Church to request that masses be said to ask for God’s blessing for a variety of reasons.  The most common reason is for the repose (peaceful, heavenly rest) of the soul of a loved one or friend.  But mass intentions can be made for a variety of purposes, both solemn and joyful.

 

 

You may have a Mass said for:

 · For the repose of the soul of a deceased friend or loved one.

· Birthdays.

· Anniversaries (weddings, religious, or a date of death).

· Safe pregnancy, birth of a baby, or adoption.

· Recovery from an illness.

· Other Spiritual Intentions.
