Mass offerings, or Mass stipends, are an ancient tradition in the Church.
The faithful give alms to priests so that a particular intention is celebrated in the Mass – for example for the deceased, for the sick, in thanksgiving, for an examination or for a safe journey. This practice shows the deep attachment of the faithful to the Holy Mass and the care of the Church in giving their needs a time and a place.
Holy Mass
A single Mass to bring your own prayer intentions before God. It offers the opportunity to present specific intentions or thanksgivings in a special way.
Amt (several Masses)
Several Masses offered for particular intentions, such as for the deceased or in thanksgiving. This form supports long-term intentions and allows for repeated prayer.
Triduum
A three-day series of prayer in veneration or for special intentions. It is suited to more intensive prayer intentions and focused spiritual preparation.
Novena
Nine consecutive days of intensive prayer for particular intentions such as health, comfort or guidance. This longer period of prayer offers deep devotion and continuity in prayer.
Gregorian Masses
A special series of Masses over 30 days, often for the deceased, that creates a deep spiritual bond. This tradition is meant to offer the departed lasting intercession.
