State of the Parish Report 2023-2024
Mass Intentions
The intention of every Mass is that the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ be for the salvation of the whole world. Specific intentions and needs (e.g. for the living and the dead) can be joined to this intention. The parish will begin scheduling Mass intentions on Monday, December 2nd for the new year. Please note the following:
1. The suggested offering for each Mass in the Diocese of Syracuse is $15.00. The offering is given to the priest as part of his livelihood. Priests may only receive one offering per day unless the law of the Church provides otherwise. Additional offerings will be used at the parish to provide for the mission of the Church.
2. One intention is offered at each Mass except on Thursdays and Saturdays. At the 8:00 AM daily Mass on Thursdays, multiple intentions will be offered. At the 4:00 PM anticipated Mass on Saturdays, multiple intentions will be offered. Please note that when selecting these Mass times, you are agreeing to combine your intention with other intentions.
3. One Mass on Sundays and one Mass on holy days of obligation is always offered for the people of the parish. Please note that other intentions may not be offered at this time or joined to this intention.
4. Each family may select up to three dates to have specific intentions offered at Mass. Additional intentions will be placed on a list and scheduled based on the availability of Masses this year. Please indicate the following when asking to have an intention offered at Mass: (a) the dates you would like to have the additional intentions you submit offered, (b) whether it is okay to combine your additional intentions with others, (c) whether it is okay to send your additional intentions and the offerings associated with them elsewhere to be offered (e.g. another parish, the missions, etc.).
The Sacred Heart Mass League is a special prayer list at our parish. The people on this list will be prayed for at every First Friday Mass for an entire year and their names are listed here. Suggested donation, $30.00. Please contact the parish office for more information at 315-699-2752.
