Mass Intentions |
One family can order 3
Mass intentions throughout the whole year – 1 on
Sunday and 2 during the week. The Mass
intentions are ordered directly in the parish
office, not by telephone. Please make your
offering at the office at the time of ordering.
REMINDER: A service to Mary of Perpetual Help is
held every Wednesday after the evening Mass. The
amount of Mass intentions on this day is
unlimited. Those, who missed their chance to
order or because of lack of space did not order
a Mass with an individual intention can take
advantage of this Mass with collective
intentions. Intentions are received by the
parish office.
MASS INTENTIONS can also be sent for the Mission.
Their validity does not depend on the hour of
day or place of performance. Let’s be
understanding and give all an even chance in
ordering Mass intentions. |

or they must have the approval of their native
parish for the wedding. They must take a
pre-marital course and show a baptism
certificate with a date not exceeding half a

outside Canada’s borders and outside the parish
that they belong to should contact the priest in
order to receive the approval of the diocese,
that is the License of the Assistance for the
Marriage. |
