MASS INTENTIONS: The spiritual pastoral practice of stipends (offerings for mass intentions) has a long history in the church. This practice is a special way in which the faithful unite their offering to that of Christ in The Sacrifice of the Mass. It is a rich tradition within the church to offer the Mass for a specific intention or in memory of deceased loved ones. We are instructed by the scripture, that "it is right and proper to pray for the dead". You are invited & encouraged to request Mass intentions, particularly for deceased loved ones.

The 2009 Mass intention book is available. The offering for a daily Mass is $10.00 and $20.00 for weekend Masses.
