Mass, Candle & Light Intentions
Changes to Our Mass Intentions
The 2026 Mass Books will open on October 6. This year, with the reduction in the Masses offered at Our Lady of Mount Carmel Basilica, we have close to 100 fewer Masses than in 2025. Because of this, only three (3) Mass intentions will be scheduled per household, of which only one (1) can be a Sunday Mass. At St. Anthony of Padua Church, only one (1) Mass will be scheduled per household.
Altar Memorial Masses
New for 2026, our parish will be offering Altar Memorial Masses. On the third weekend of every month, our deceased loved ones whose names are added to our Altar Memorial list will be included in our Universal Prayers (Prayers of the Faithful) at each of our weekend Masses and the names on the Altar Memorial list will be printed in the bulletin. A person can be included on the Altar Memorial list as many times as year as you would like.
Mass, candle and light offerings, and the Altar Memorials are $10.00 each. There is no restriction to the number of candles, lights, or Altar Memorials that can be requested.
Please complete these forms, and mail them to the parish office, place them in the collection basket or email office@olmcsta.com. Kindly write legibly or type. The following letters can be used to signify special dates: (B) - Birthday; (A) - Anniversary of Death; (WA) - Wedding Anniversary. All intentions are assumed to be In Memory of (+) unless clearly noted with (L) for Living.
Requests will be recorded in the order they are received. If we cannot get the date you want, we will do our best to get a date close to the one you want. You will be notified when your Masses and candles are scheduled, so please include your contact information.
