Special Intention Masses

The Shrine has received an ever-increasing call for "Special Intention Masses" which are often remembrances of a loved one's anniversary of death, birthday, or other important date. For many years, the Shrine has been unable to accommodate 'date specific' requests for a variety of reasons, e.g., volume of Mass intentions, paperwork and staffing requirements for tracking, etc.

Starting with this Anniversary Year however, we will attempt to honor "Special Intention Masses" which would be designated as those arranged through the Shrine Office for an agreed upon date and time, published in the Pilgrim, announced at that Mass, and for which a donation of $25 would be offered.
All other Mass intentions would remain at the regular $10 Mass stipend and would be classified as "intentions remembered for one week at regularly scheduled Masses." For further information, please contact Fran Ralph at 853-3033 ext. 221.
