Dear people of the page, someone reported this page for impersonation, and the link to verify is not working. I regret to inform you that this page is likely going to be taken down. 😞

Dear friends, public Masses are on an indefinite haitus. The building where we were so graciously able to use another congregation's chapel has been completely torn down, and we have no other location to use at this time. If public services are able to resume, we will let you all know, but at this time nothing is planned for the foreseeable future.

Blessings of our Holy Mother Death to you all!

With the current pandemic sweeping the world, I'm considering offering regular private Santa Muerte Masses each week in my home, specifically the Healing Mass from the Lectionary. I'm still working out the logistics, but my question to you all is: Would you be interested in this, and possibly be able to make a donation of $5-$10 via Venmo or PayPal to help cover costs?

The plan I'm working on is to have a set deadline each week for all who are interested to let me know what sort of offering they would like me to present to Our Lady on their behalf, along with a small donation. With the donation, I would purchase their offering, as well as any candles, oils, incense, etc., as needed. If the deadline is missed and I've already done my shopping, no worries -- I can save it for the next week. I'm thinking it would be easiest to request very generic offerings rather than specifying brands, such as: to***co, tequila, rum, chocolate, etc. I do live in Washington state where we've been hit with the virus pretty hard, and grocery stores here are often out of a lot of items, so everything depends on what is available. On the bright side, since this is WA, ma*****na is legal here -- although I might have to ask for a bit more of a donation to cover that cost, if you would like to offer it to Santa Muerte.

Anyway, right now I'm only looking to see if there would be an interest, so I can start planning. Nothing is set in stone yet. Let me know in the comments below, and if there is enough interest, I'll follow up with details on how to make your requests and donations. I'm not very tech savvy, but if I can figure out how to stream the Masses with sound, I'll do so!

"SANTA MUERTE PRAYER for LOVE"

You who is familiar with all imperfection,
you know that the ardent flames of fantasy
embrace my heart without puty.
Call to whom I love,
let them realize this necessity that boils, that consumes;
Tell them that all my thoughts pertain to them.

Tell my loved one that I need them,
that I do not desire them ill-will;
communicate to them that their presence is imperative,
and that my fire can warm the abode for which they yearn.
Call to them, bring them to my side,
but if I don't arrive to meet my destiny,
Oh, Santisima Muerte!
Give me the strength and patience to understand
and to love you and my beloved,
to open the cage that imprisons my heart.
Then the one whom I love will be free
and I will comply.

If it is for me, may they come,
but if not, may they be sent off
and may the one come who best corresponds to me.

Because I believe in my own energy that lives in me.
