Mass Requests, Mass Enrollment Societies, Novenas
and other Mass Intentions
Because of the Mass’ infinite value – a memorial of the death
and resurrection of the Lord, it is a time honored Catholic
tradition to have Masses said in honor of a particular person
and to provide a Mass Cards to comfort relatives, friends and
loved ones. The Cathedral offers three options to have Masses
offered for loved ones, or friends either living or deceased.
Mass Requests
Announced Masses:
You can request an announced Mass to be said for a living or
deceased family member, friend or loved one by coming in person
to a member of the clergy and completing a request form. A stipend is suggested for each Mass.
Unannounced Masses:
You can also request an unannounced Mass to be said for a living
or deceased family member, friend or loved one by coming in
person to the Parish office and
completing a request form.
Cathedral Mass Enrollment Society:
The Cathedral offers Mass Cards to those who wish to pray
for loved ones, living or deceased, by enrolling them in the Cathedral
Mass Enrollment Society. You do not have to personally
visit the Cathedral but rather these Mass Cards can be sent by
mail to you in advance, for future use.
Members of the
Cathedral Mass Enrollment Society, both living and
deceased, are remembered collectively in a monthly Mass
celebrated the first Sunday of each month for one year. Names
are not announced individually.
You can request enrollment in the Cathedral
Mass Enrollment Society by
calling the church line.
The Cathedral will send the set of three beautiful Mass Cards to
you in advance, which you can mail directly to loved ones when
you wish to have someone remembered through enrollment in the Mass
Enrollment Society.
You should forward the name of the person you are enrolling,
using the instruction card included with the three Mass Cards
mailed to you whenever you wish to enroll someone. Please
indicate if the person enrolled is living or deceased.

Father’s Day:
The Cathedral offers enrollment for novenas to remember loved
ones and friends at the above holidays. For more information
regarding enrollment in these seasonal novenas, please visit or
