To ensure as many parishioners and friends as possible are able to request Mass Intentions throughout the year, we have the following guidelines for requests:
- On July 1st of every year, the Masses for the following calendar year will be open for Mass & Sanctuary Lamp requests. The Masses for calendar year 2027 will open Wednesday, July 1, 2026.
- There is a limit of 3 Masses Intentions per household each quarter (12 Masses per year).
- Both Churches have 1 “Multiple Mass Intention Mass” each Sunday—the 10:00am Mass at St. Bernard and the 10:30am Mass at St. Matthew. These Masses can have up to 3 Mass Intentions each. These Mass intentions should only be for deceased persons (i.e. not for special intentions).
- For the Multiple Mass Intention Mass, each intention should only be for one person or one family such as ‘deceased members of the Smith family’. And a requestor is only allowed 1 of the 3 intentions.
- For all other Masses, requests should be limited to 3 separate names.
