How to Book a Mass Intention on Multiple Intention Days (Wednesdays & Fridays)

On Wednesdays and Fridays, multiple Mass Intentions may be offered during the same Mass. Each person may book one Mass Intention per Mass, with up to 3 names maximum included in that intention. If you wish to include more than 3 names, an additional Mass Intention must be booked for a different date.

This 3-name limit applies to all Masses on Wednesdays and Fridays.

Example of one Mass Intention (3 names maximum):
+ Jane, John & Mary Doe
This counts as one Mass Intention for one designated Mass.

Example of multiple intentions during the same Mass:

Wednesday, March 25

  1. + Jane, John & Mary Doe — requested by Joseph Doe
  2. Bob Moss (Thanksgiving) — requested by Margaret Moss
  3. Billy & Marcus Ruth (Wedding Anniversary) — requested by the Ruth family

Please note:

Separate multiple names with commas. ie ( John, Paul & Luke...) not (John Paul Luke).

Include only first and last names when submitting intentions (if applicable) (ie. John Doe) not (ie. John Patrick Lawrence Smith Doe).

Please clearly indicate whether your request is for one name or multiple names (up to 3).
