How soon will the Mass be celebrated?

What’s the difference between Single Mass, a Novena, and a Gregorian Series?

Single Mass: One Mass for your intention (can include multiple names). Living or deceased.

Novena: Nine Masses for one or more names. Living or deceased. Novenas are nine days of prayer during which we meditate on a particular topic or prepare ourselves deeply for a specific feast day. You can sign up to receive our novenas by email by subscribing.

Gregorian Mass Series: 30 consecutive daily Masses for one deceased soul, offered without interruption.

What is the origin of Gregorian Masses?

This tradition began with Pope St. Gregory the Great in the 6th century. When a fellow monk died with sins on his conscience, Gregory had 30 daily Masses offered. After the last Mass, the monk appeared in a vision, freed to enter into heaven. Since then, the Church has upheld this sacred practice as a powerful prayer for a soul’s release from Purgatory.
