Donations In Memory of A Loved One
We are grateful for the many things we have accomplished in the parish through donations from the families of deceased loved ones.
Many parish families have made donations, large and small, in honor or in memory of loved ones. Such donations have helped us accomplish much-needed projects such as remodeling our altar space. We also use such donations to purchase church items such as vestments, altar server robes, sacred vessels, banners, etc. The Fund is also used for improvement and enhancement of our church facilities and church grounds. Gifts both large and small are most welcome. To arrange a memorial, please contact the pastor.
Mass Intentions
Many people wish to honor their living and remember their deceased relatives and friends by having a Mass celebrated. These Masses are celebrated in the parish and are announced in the weekly bulletin. The usual offering is $10, as stipulated by the Archdiocese. This donation is called a Mass offering and is meant to offset the things needed for the celebration of the Eucharist. One should never consider it as paying for the Mass, for no amount of money can purchase the Sacrifice of the Body and Blood of Christ. The spiritual value is in the Mass itself. Please stop by or call the Parish Office to arrange your Mass intentions.
Sanctuary Flower Offerings
Sanctuary Flower arrangements may be offered to remember living or deceased relatives and friends or to celebrate a special occasion. Please stop by or call the Parish Office with your request. The offering amount is $130 for two regular arrangements, located on either side of the tabernacle.

Flower arrangements placed in front of the statues of Our Blessed Mother Mary and/or Saint Joseph may also be offered to honor and remember living or deceased relatives and friends. The offering amount is $65 each. Please stop by or call the Parish Office with your request.
Sanctuary Candle Offerings
The Sanctuary Candle may be offered in honor or in memory of beloved family and friends or to celebrate a special occasion. The offering is $25.00. Please stop by or call the Parish Office to check on available weeks.
