Mass Intentions

Having a Mass celebrated for a person or a specific request has a long history in the Catholic Church. Requesting a Mass is not only a sign of your own faith and flourishing, but of your heart for those who say these Masses.

Requests for a Mass to be said for a loved one or other living or deceased person, may be made up to 3 months in advance. If you have a particular date to request, we will try to accommodate the request or arrange for the next available.


The offering you make when requesting a Mass will go to support the celebrants of all Masses at the Church of the Nativity each month.


Please use the button to be taken to the request form and the current calendar of Mass Intentions.


You may still also use paper envelopes for requests as well. Simply return them via our office door mail slot or Sunday collection basket.


Mass Intention Request & Calendar

Be sure to indicate if you or someone else would like to receive a Mass card, and the address to send the card, as well as your return address. Note, if the recipient is a current parishioner, you do not need to include the address, just their name.


The suggested offering is set by the Diocese and is $10. Per canon law, making an offering is not a requirement to request a Mass Intention. All offerings go to support the celebrants.


If you are making an offering, you may provide that in several ways:


  • via the Mass Intention envelopes found in our entry ways
  • via the online giving tool (please indicate "Mass Intention" and for whom the Mass is intended in the note of the online offering)
  • drop off in our parish office door's mail slot
  • send by US Postal Service
  • by putting in the weekend collections basket (be sure the envelope has "Mass Intention" and for whom the Mass is intended)


If the date you have requested is not available, we will schedule the next available Mass, of the nature indicated in the request.
