The 2019 Mass book will be open on MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24th at 9:30 AM to reserve Mass Intentions during 2019. Given the volume of requests we have at Our Lady of Peace, Mass intention requests are honored on a first-come, first-served basis. We regret that we may be unable to accommodate the number of intentions you might desire.
Due to the volume and fairness to all parishioners, we can accept only one Mass intention request for the same person/intention. We will limit each individual to only 5 weekend Masses, 3 can be at the same Mass time. If you require additional weekend Masses, please come into the rectory after December 1rst.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Mass intentions may be requested in person in the Rectory Office during regular weekday office hours (Monday through Friday, 9am-4:30pm).
The customary offering is $10 per Mass intention.
