At St. Catherine of Siena Parish, there are many requests for scheduling Mass Intentions. The following policies are used to accommodate the numerous Mass requests in a reasonable and fair manner:
In order to give the opportunity for all parishioners to schedule a Mass Intention for their loved ones and to accommodate recently deceased individuals, St. Catherine of Siena parish office will now be using a software to help better serve our parishioners for Mass Intention requests. Mass Intentions requests will continue to be taken on a first come first serve basis. With this new software, families are limited to six Mass intentions per year. This will allow us to have more intentions available for the recently deceased, anniversaries, birthdays, etc. Mass Intention availability will also be posted on our website. Mass Intentions will be open one month at a time, two months in advance. For example, July 1, 2024 will open the month of September 2024. In addition to requests, email reminders will be sent to parishioners a day prior to their scheduled intention. Please stop in the parish office to request a Mass or call the parish office at 919-570-0070.
Unfortunately, we are unable to take requests through email or online at this time. Please read our intention schedule below or call the parish office for additional information.
The Mass Intention schedule is as follows:
On January 1st (or the 1st day parish office is open), we will open Mass Intentions for the month of March.
On February 1st (or the 1st day parish office is open), we will open Mass Intentions for the month of April.
And so forth for each month thereafter.
Mass Intentions are published weekly in the Sunday bulletin. Mass Intentions are a personal donation, but the customary amount is $10. This signifies the sacrificial nature of giving of something of yourself to associate more intimately with Christ who offers himself in the Eucharist.
