Have a Mass Offered
Mass Offerings
Whenever the Eucharist is celebrated, it embraces the entire human family, both living and dead, with its benefits extending to the whole world. However, it is a pious custom and powerful spiritual practice to request that a Holy Mass be offered for a special, primary intention: for friends and family, for the needs of the Church, in gratitude to God for some particular grace.
When requesting a Mass intention, it’s customary to make an offering, normally $10. This is not a charge for services rendered. At the 91µÎµÎ, these donations are given to University Ministry to help diminish the cost of the materials used for the celebration of the Mass – the candles, the bread and wine, and so on. Those unable to make a financial contribution are still always encouraged to submit Mass intentions.
If you’d like to let someone know you’ve requested that a Mass be said for them, you’re also welcome to pick up a Mass card from University Ministry.
