Mass Intentions

If you find that your pastor is unable to conveniently take care of the Masses you wish to have celebrated for your particular intentions, Conception Abbey, because many of its monks are ordained priests, will welcome the requests for such intentions. We will see to it that the Masses are celebrated as promptly as possible. The offering you make should correspond with that suggested by the diocese in which you reside. Your pastor will be able to inform you what the stipend of a particular diocese may be.

Please address such requests to:
