Mass Intentions

A Mass intention is a special request to be offered for a particular purpose. Most commonly, Masses are offered for the repose of the soul of someone who has died, but they can also be for the living—for example, for healing, thanksgiving, birthdays, anniversaries, special blessings, or guidance. This practice reflects the belief in the spiritual value of the Eucharist and the power of prayer within the Church community.

November is traditionally known as ‘Month of the Dead’ and throughout the month, all mass intentions is dedicated to praying for and honouring deceased loved ones.

All Mass intentions are published on the weekly newsletter. If you would like to have a Mass offered for a particular intention, you have the following options available:
