Mass intentions and stipends are given to missionary priests and bishops from around the world when they visit the Propagation of the Faith office. Masses are said upon returning to their home country, where funds assist their local parishes and ministries.
Once a month, the Diocesan Director, Rev. Thomas W. Ahern, says a Mass for the intentions of those enrolled in Purgatorial Enrollment Masses.
Mass cards are available for every kind of intention if requested at no additional donation. A blue, padded memorial card is available for Purgatorial Enrollment Mass donations. When requesting Mass cards, please indicate your intention and preferred style of card (subject to availability).
