2021 Mass Intention Policy      Política para Intenciones de Misa 2021 

The Mass Intention Book for the 2022 calendar year will open on Thursday, November 18, 2021, for phone calls only.
The online form will be available on Friday, November 19, 2021.
We will not be allowing in-person requests because Shakopee Area Catholic School,
where the parish office is located, is closed to the public.

We will accept 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. Due to COVID-19, all Mass intentions will be said at the SJA - St. Mark Church until restrictions are lifted and we are once again able to open up all of our beautiful churches. We will still offer intentions for our regular Mass schedule. All Saturday Vigil and Sunday intentions will be announced at the beginning of every weekend Mass and the priests will coordinate those intentions being offered.
 
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 ^$7 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.
