Mass Intentions

Español
Mass intention requests are accepted for available weekday and weekend Masses and are made available on a rolling three (3) month calendar. In order to accommodate the many requests for Mass intentions in our large, growing parish, please follow these guidelines when requesting intentions: 

• limit requests to six (6) per requestor/household per year, 
• limit requests to six (6) for the same person per year (regardless of requestor),
• limit requests to one (1) per month per requestor/household, and 
• requests should not be consecutive with respect to day and time.

To request a Mass in someone's name:

1. Click on the “Click here to request a Mass intention” button to go to our Mass intentions software. 
2. Click on the "Request" button and fill out the form to submit your request. Please do not just enter phrases like "Mom" or "His family" in the "Requested by" field. These phrases can be added in addition to your first and last name.
3. You will receive an email from “St. Raphael Parish” letting you know if your Mass intention request has been approved or denied. 
4. If your intention has been approved, you may pay the requested stipend of  $10 by clicking on the link in the approval email, dropping it off at the parish office, or mailing it to the parish office within 10 days of receiving the email. The stipends support our Jesuit community. Please do not submit any payments for the stipend before you receive the email approving or denying your request.

Mass intentions will not be accepted over the phone.
