Father Mirek’s Announcements

2027 Mass Book

Our Book of Mass Intentions for 2027 will open on Monday, August 17th. Email Lisa at lreed@olaffld.org, drop off or send by mail your Mass Intention requests (PRINTED NEATLY) and include your phone number. You can call the parish office, however, depending on the volume of calls, there may be a delay in responding to your requests. The limit is 4 Mass Intentions for Saturday Vigil, Sunday Masses, and Holy Day of Obligation Masses, including Ash Wednesday. For example, if you request a Mass on Friday, January 1st, the Solemnity of Mary (Holy Day of Obligation), it will go towards the 4 Mass limitation and not the weekly Mass limitation. There is a limit of 8 Intentions for our daily Masses. The total amount of Mass Intentions allowed is 12 Masses. We will celebrate a 5:30 PM Mass on Monday evenings and Holy Day of Obligation Masses, including the Vigils. The Mass Stipend amount is $15, payment is due at the time of request, and can be mailed to our office, attention Lisa. If you are requesting a Mass intention and a Sanctuary/Devotional Candle, issue separate checks for the Masses and light(s).

Sanctuary Candle

Request for our Sanctuary Candle for 2027 will also begin on Monday, August 17th. It is a beacon to all of the real presence of our Lord in our Church. You can reserve a weekly burning Sanctuary Candle (Sunday to Saturday) for a special intention or in memory of a loved one. The stipend amount is $25 (a separate check from Mass Intentions and Devotional Candle). There is a limit of 4 weeks in 2027.

Devotional Candle

Starting on Monday, August 17th parishioners will also have the opportunity to sponsor the Devotional Candle for their intention during 2027 with a 4 week limit. Your intention will be posted near the candle in the Alcove. The stipend amount for the devotional light will be $20 (a separate check from Mass Intentions and Sanctuary Candle).
