Offering a Mass for a special Intention is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic Church. It is usually considered that special graces are obtained for whom the Mass is said. Masses are offered for many reasons, for the souls in purgatory, in remembrance of someone who is deceased, or in honor of a birthday. If you would like to have a Mass said for someone, come to either Parish Office. The customary stipend is $10 and it signifies the sacrificial nature of giving of something of yourself to associate more intimately with Christ who offers himself in the Eucharist.
Sanctuary Candles are also available to remember or honor someone. The candles are $25.00 each and burn for two weeks. Candles are available at both St. Mary and St. Ursula. Please stop by either rectory to schedule.
