WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO HAVE A MASS “OFFERED” FOR SOMEONE?
Mass intentions refer to the particular purpose for which a specific Mass is offered. Most commonly, a Mass is requested for the repose of the soul of someone who has died. One should never forget the infinite graces that flow from the Sacrifice of the Mass which benefit one’s soul, both for the living and the deceased.
Although the origins of the practice of offering Mass intentions date to the early Church, we still recognize its importance today. To have a Mass offered on the occasion of a birthday, anniversary or special need is appropriate, beneficial, and appreciated. Really, there is no greater gift that we can give.
Daily and Sunday Mass intentions to be offered here at St. Matthew & Our Lady of Perpetual Help are available, and there are many weekday intentions open. If you would like to remember a loved one in this way, please click on one of the available intentions indicated by a teal box.
