Regular Mass

All our Masses may be offered for one person / a group of people or a special intention. The regular offering for a Mass intention is set by the Diocese at $15 with $10 eligible for a tax receipt. A Mass card may be provided for those who request it for an additional $2.

Diocese guidelines allow our parish to take one Mass intention on Mondays and two intentions per Mass from Wednesday to Sunday. There is no intention limit for the Tuesday Community Mass.

Community Mass

Due to the daily limit of Mass intentions, the parish offers a weekly Mass on Tuesday evenings at 7pm with no intention limits, called the Community Mass. There is no cost to have a name added to the Tuesday evening list and the intention can be for any reason. Names must be submitted and confirmed by the Office (either by phone or email) before Tuesday at 3pm to be included in that evening’s Mass intention list.

Sanctuary Lamp

Individuals may request that the Sanctuary Lamp be lit for one week for an intention, starting on Mondays. Only one intention is taken per week. The suggested donation is $10 per intention and a tax receipt is issued in the same amount.

Memorial Society

Memorial Society intentions are placed on the altar and prayed for during the entire month by the priest presiding at the Mass. The names are read once per month at each weekend Mass on the second weekend of the month. The amount suggested by the Diocese is $10 per intention and a tax receipt is issued in the same amount.
