Also since its earliest days, the Church has offered Mass for the intentions of the living, especially the sick. Many of you ask for Masses to be said regularly for deceased loved ones. Some ask that these Masses be offered on specific dates, and we do our best to accommodate your requests. We are now accepting Mass requests for the calendar year 2015. Your special requests will be honored to the extent possible, but we ask your patience and understanding. So that we can accommodate as many families as possible, we ask that requests of multiple Masses be limited to twelve per year. Since scheduling begins in late October, it is important that requests be received by October 15, 2014. If you would like to be informed of the dates and times of your scheduled requests please include a self-addressed stamped envelope, a phone number or email address so that we can contact you. Please note that the scheduling for the 2015 Masses will not be completed until December. Thank you. CAPITAL CAMPAIGN NEWS…….from Fr.
