New Diocesan Policy on Mass Offerings

The tradition of making an offering for the celebration of Masses for particular intentions is a praiseworthy practice that should be maintained as far as possible. Whenever the Eucharist is celebrated, the needs and intentions of the entire human family, both the living and the deceased, are included. Nevertheless, as Catholics, we believe that there is immeasurable value in having a Mass celebrated for a particular intention. Those for whom the Mass is offered benefit in a special way from the grace of the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

To learn how this practice is implemented in our archdiocese, please refer to the attached document.
