The schedule for Mass Intentions for 2023 is currently not available.         

The Scheduling of Mass Intention requests have returned to in-person only. Mailed, dropped-off or online requests will not be honored. Thank you for your cooperation. 
  

 

As with most parishes, here at St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church, there are many Mass intentions that are requested for specific dates and/or times.  Currently, a Mass intention that is requested for a specific date is noted in the parish bulletin and at the Mass for which it is intended. 

At this time, a requested Mass intention may also be verbally announced at other parish Masses in which the faithful are physically present, given the nature of how the Mass intentions are being presented.  In any event, the Mass intention that has been requested, is definitely applied to the Mass to which it has been assigned.  With the various changes we have experienced over the last several months, the “stating” of Mass intentions (either verbally or in written form, as noted at our livestreamed Masses), has been occurring at all Masses in an effort to make sure that the Mass intentions are both noted, and not overlooked.

Mass Intentions will not be rescheduled if a verbal announcement was not heard during Mass. Even though the intention was not verbally announced, know that the Mass has been offered for that particular intention. The intention is a spiritual act and its verbal publication neither adds nor subtrats from its validity.
