There are a lot of open dates for Masses to be said in 2019. Remember family members and friends with a Mass for the repose of their souls. Masses can also be said for special Intentions, when special prayers are needed for various circumstances. The person making those kinds of requests is not mentioned, as to who the Mass is from. The stipend amount is $10.00, which goes to the priest celebrating the Mass. Requests can be dropped in the collection baskets with an envelope marked where the Mass is to be said, what the intention is, and who it is from. There are only 52 Sundays in the year for Masses at Church of the Atonement, St. Bernard, and St. Patrick so some requested dates at those parishes are limited.
