The Mass is the highest form of Christian Charity - it represents the perfect sacrifice of Calvary,
and so it is the priest’s essential duty and greatest honor to offer Mass. The Christian faithful in
all ages have traditionally offered alms for the celebration of Mass, for the support of the priest
and the maintenance of the church where the holy rites are celebrated.
The faithful may request Mass to be offered for a Special Intention, often for another
individual, living or deceased.
- A Single Mass. The suggested offering is $10.
- A Specific Date, nameday, birthday or anniversary. The suggested offering is $20.
- Perpetual Mass Association. One Mass is offered monthly for all those who are enrolled, living and deceased. The suggested offering is $300.
- A Novena of nine consecutive Masses for a special intention. The suggested offering is $180.
- A Gregorian Series of thirty consecutive Masses for someone who has died. The suggested offering is $600.
- A Foundation is a special arrangement of Masses offered for a number of years or permanently for an intention. For this the offering varies according to the requirements of the foundation. Please email MassRequests@StMichaelsAbbey.com or call (949) 858-0222 ext 345, if you would like to make such an arrangement.
“By giving donations for the celebration of the Mass,
the faithful associate themselves more closely with Christ’s act of offering Himself
as a victim and in so doing experience the effects of the Mass more fully.”
—Pope Paul VI
