What are the intentions of the Mass?

Itentions in a Mass are specific requests or purposes for which the priest and the whole community offer the celebration of the Eucharist, that is, who or why the Sacrifice of Christ is offered that is actualized in every Mass that is officiated?

a) For the deceased: To ask for eternal rest and forgiveness of the sins of a being dear who has passed away.

b) For the living: For the health of a sick person, the well-being of a family, a birthday, wedding or ordination anniversary.

c) In thanksgiving: To give thanks to God for a favor received, the recovery of health, graduation or some important achievement.

d) For special needs: For peace in the world, for priests, for the souls or because of a difficult situation in the community...

How to apply for them? They can be ordered directly at the parish office of this St. Matthew's Cathedral or by phone at 281 260 96 22.

Moment in the Mass: Although they can be carried in the heart throughout the celebration, Community petitions are usually read in a general way during the collect or the Eucharistic prayer.
