Mass intentions may be set for many reasons as it is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic Church.
There are a number of reasons a Mass intention may be requested:
a deceased loved one
a living person who is sick or suffering
a living person who is celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, or other special moment in their life
in thanksgiving to God
in thanksgiving for a favor granted through the intercession of a Blessed or a Saint
for a prayer intention, as long as the intention does not contradict Church teaching
Unfortunately, we cannot set Mass intentions for an uknown or private intention or one that contradicts Church teaching.
We are not able to guarantee there will be availability during the day or month you are requesting. Under Synod Statutes, we are unable to schedule Mass intentions more than a year ahead.
For the Diocese of Bismarck, the cost for each Mass intention is a suggested donation of $10.
