ST. MARY OF THE PINES

  Based on our faith, it is a praiseworthy and commendable practice to offer one or more Masses on behalf of a person who is deceased. By offering a Mass, the Christian faithful unite in prayer for deceased loved ones, so that they may find eternal rest in heaven. Every Mass is of infinite value. Therefore, requesting one or several Masses is of great benefit for those prayed for, as well as for their families who take comfort that their intentions are united with the prayers of the Holy Church.

  Because we take so seriously the need to match every Mass request to an actual Mass time and date, Mass requests must be done by calling or visiting the parish office. 

  Candles are placed in the church vestibule and may be lit as memorials for loved ones. Each week the candles will be available to be reserved for $3 . 

Candle memorials are made on weekly basis, and the loved ones' names will be put on the list as they are reserved. All who are interested in having a loved one remembered in this way are invited to call or visit the parish office.
