The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
The Convent of St. John the Baptist is happy to continue offering your Mass Intentions for a $10.00 stipend.
Currently (as of this update on 11/13/11), all dates are open and available on our calendar for 2012, so if you’re looking for a special date, let us know! Masses are scheduled on a "first-come, first-served" basis, so we’ll do our best to honor your requested date(s).
Gregorian Masses are also accepted: These are offered for 30 consecutive days (1 Mass per day) for the repose of a Catholic soul. Suggested stipend is $300.00, which breaks down to $10.00 per Mass, as above.
Living Mass Association: The annual enrollment stipend of $50.00 includes Mass being offered on the first Saturday of each month (12 Masses per year), with unlimited enrollment of names.
Holy Souls Mass Association: for the deceased, is set up the same as above. An enrollment stipend of $50.00 includes Mass being offered on the first Friday of each month (12 Masses per year, plus All Souls Day), with unlimited enrollment…whether you send in 1 name or 100 names.
Your stipends help the friars cover expenses and upkeep of Mass supplies and vestments: candles, altar wine & bread, repair or purchase of sacred vestments & linens, as well as the “hidden costs” of electricity, heat and washing the sacred Mass and altar linens, etc.
You may send your Mass requests by mail, using the Post Office box address above, or you may use the drop-down menus below, which we hope may be a more convenient option for some.
