We are reminded by the Eucharistic Prayers that every Mass is for all of us and for our loved ones who have died, as we are all part of the Communion of Saints. Offering specific Mass intentions for loved ones has been a beautiful and meaningful part of our Catholic tradition for centuries. In our parish, we have many requests for scheduling such Mass intentions. We try to honor these to the best of our ability and in accord with the Code of Canon Law for the universal Catholic Church.

The Mass Intention Book for the 2022 calendar year opened on Thursday, November 18, 2021.

We are accepting intention request dates through December 31, 2022. 

Mass Intentions will be honored on a first-come, first-served basis in the Parish office. Specific Mass dates can be requested, however, if that date has already been taken, you will be contacted by the parish office to choose another date. The following policies are put forth to allow as many parishioners as possible to schedule Mass intentions for their loved ones.

· Each household or group is allowed one (1) intention scheduled per month with a maximum of three (3) scheduled per calendar year, which includes one weekend (Saturday or Sunday) and two weekdays (Monday through Friday) Masses.
 
· A ^$10 stipend per Mass intention, as determined by Archdiocesan policy, is to accompany each request. A Mass offering may be more than the suggested stipend. Checks may be written to: SJA  Memo: Mass Intention. If you are dropping a check in the mail or collection basket, please include a note indicating the intention requests.
 
· Please remember the Mass Intentions are a request. Once the Mass is scheduled we will do our best to celebrate the Mass on the day and time scheduled. However, Mass dates and times are subject to change due to changes in our priest’s schedules and circumstances beyond our control. In this case, the next available date and time will be scheduled.
