​The practice of requesting a Mass to be offered for loved ones, living or deceased, is a beautiful and wonderful part of our Catholic tradition. In our Parish, there are many requests for scheduling such Mass intentions. As a way to allow as many Resurrection parishioners and friends as possible to schedule Masses, the following policy is put forth to help accomplish this goal.
  • A $10 stipend, as determined by diocesan policy, is to accompany each Mass request.
Please note the following guidelines for Mass requests:
  1. Mass intentions may be requested for Sundays, most holidays and weekdays throughout the year.
  2. Mass intentions cannot be scheduled for the days of the Sacred Triduum: Holy Thursday or Holy Saturday. Also, Mass intentions will not be accepted for the following: Thanksgiving Day, All Souls Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day. These Mass intentions will be for the general intentions of our priest and parishioners.
  3. As required by Canon Law, one Mass every Sunday must be scheduled for the intentions of all our living and deceased parishioners.
  4. Mass requests will be granted as close to the requested date as possible. If it is not possible to comply with the primary request, the next closest date and time will be scheduled. IF we move a request to a different date and or time, we will contact you. PLEASE be sure that we have your contact information!

​In the event that a particular date is requested (for example an anniversary) by several people, the request will be granted on a rotating basis.
 
  1. According to Canon Law, a priest may be absent from the parish for four weeks per year. Therefore, one week of each quarter of the year will be left empty of scheduled mass intentions. Depending on the priest’s actual vacation schedule, these dates may become available. If so, we will use this time to schedule Masses which we have accepted but not scheduled. In addition, diocesan law provides that a priest may take off one day per week. Therefore, Masses will normally not be scheduled on Mondays. Again, actual Mass schedules are determined on a monthly basis, and Mondays may become available.
 
  1. The Parish bulletin contains the definitive Mass schedule for each week. Please be sure to refer to the bulletin when making plans to attend Mass for a particular intention since the Mass schedule can change from week to week. The bulletin is available online at ResurrectionParishJohnstown.com.
 
  1. Canon Law does not permit us to keep Mass intentions beyond those that we are able to schedule in a year’s time. Some intentions may have to be sent to retired Diocesan priests or to the Diocesan Mission Office for distribution to other priests who will be able to celebrate these Masses more expeditiously.
 
  1. If you are anticipating a special family event during the year, for example, a silver or golden wedding anniversary, and want to schedule a Mass for the celebration, please be sure to schedule this through the parish office.
