"The Christian faithful who give an offering to apply the Mass for their intention contribute to the good of the Church and by that offering share its concern to support its ministers and works."

Code of Canon Law # 946

INDIVIDUAL MASS INTENTIONS
For most parish Masses, intentions are scheduled at the rectory during normal hours in person and may be done so very far in advance.  Only one intention is permitted per Mass.  The offering is $15.  You may request a memorial card for an additional fee of $5.  The Mass will be offered for the stated intention whether you are present or not.  If you are present, feel free to introduce yourself to the celebrant before Mass begins and remind him of the intention.  The intention is also printed in the weekly parish bulletin if it was scheduled prior to printing.

COLLECTIVE MASS INTENTIONS
At Sunday Masses in Spanish (Sacred Heart 9:30 AM & 1 PM), celebrants are permitted to accept more than one intention per Mass.  To schedule an intention, please go to the sacristy at least 15 minutes before the scheduled Mass time and request a Collective Mass envelope.  The offering is $ 15.  Submit the envelope directly to the priest celebrant or deacon.  Collective Mass intentions can only be arranged in the sacristy and CANNOT be arranged in the rectory, on the telephone, or through anyone else.

PERPETUAL MASSES
Parishioners have the opportunity to light a perpetual memorial candle for a deceased family member for the entire year.  A small metal plate will be cast with the decedent's full name and date of death.  Masses are offered for them on a regular basis on first fridays of each month in Spanish.  A donation of $250 is required for the first year and $100 every year thereafter.  Please contact Fr. Franco or Deacon Rios for more information.
