WE WELCOME MASS INTENTIONS

The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the most powerful prayer we can offer in remembrance of a dear one who has died, for a special intention or return to good health, to mark a milestone such as a graduation or anniversary, or in thanksgiving for the birth of a child or a new job etc. The mass request may be placed in the collection or called in to the parish office. The offering for an announced mass is $20 and for an unannounced mass is $10. If desired, a card will be sent to family or friends.
