A few years ago, the Missouri Bishops recommended that the offering for a Mass intention should be $10. The change was only recommended, so it happened at IHM and SJB, but SSP continued to follow the old custom of $5. Going forward, SSP parish will use $10 as the recommended offering for a Mass intention. However, all requests for a Mass intention will be accepted, regardless of the offering given.

There are several ways you can request a Mass intention for someone you love.

• Stop by the SSP parish office and talk to Bridget Judge.
• Talk to Karen Garcia at Sunday morning office hours at IHM (7 a.m.-9 a.m.) or SJB (10 a.m.-noon).
• Send your request by mail, put it through the mail slot at any of our three rectories, or put it in the collection basket.

If you use the third option, be sure to write "Mass Request" on your envelope, be sure to include your contact information, intention, and stipend, and be sure to tell us your preferred Mass time and church.
