For the 2027 Mass Book, we will be implementing the following changes due to the high demand for Mass requests:
-You may only request a total of 6 Masses per family
-Only 3 of the 6 Masses may be for a weekend Mass
Please include first choice and second choice for each request and your contact information. Donations must accompany requests ($10/request). Requests may be placed in the collection baskets or placed in the drop box next to the rectory door.
You may begin submitting requests the week of September 6th.
