Mass Enrollments
Offering Masses and prayers for the living, as well as those who have returned home to God, is well established tradition of our Church. We invite you to remember your living and deceased relatives and friends in this very significant and prayerful way. While there is never a charge for giving the gift of prayer, we provide a suggested donation amount for each card. All donations received for Mass cards, Annual and Solemn Enrollments directly support the education and formation of our Southern Dominican seminarians.
Ordering these beautiful cards is simple and convenient. Follow the links below. Upon receiving your request, we will insert the name of the recipient, as well as your own within the text of the card. You have the option of having the completed card(s) sent to you or directly to your loved one.
