| Do This in Memory of Me... |
The Holy Sacrifice of the Mass is the perfect offering made to God becau se it is Christ Himself who is priest and victim.Â
Around the world, hour by hour, as the Eucharist is offered, Jesus’ sacrifice on Calvary and His Resurrection are made present, and His redeeming work continues for all. Christ told us, “Do this in memory of Me.” The benefits of each Mass are infinite and include the whole world. The Blood of the new and everlasting covenant was “shed for you and for all.” Those who have holy Mass offered and those for whom a Mass is offered partake in a special way of the grace of the Eucharistic sacrifice.
Spiritually, as you unite yourself with the priest who offers the Sacrifice of the Mass for your intentions, you share a bond of great strength: love of Christ in the Eucharist, trust in His love for you and faith in the power of prayer.
Throughout the centuries, Catholics have followed the praiseworthy custom of requesting that Mass be celebrated for themselves, or for loved ones, living or deceased.
A mission priest will celebrate Mass for you, or for a friend or family member, living or deceased. As the mission priest celebrates Mass for your intentions, he unites you with himself and his congregation - a clear sign of the universality of the Church! Your Mass Offering is a special help to a mission priest, poor himself and serving among the the poorest of the human family. For many mission priests, Mass Offerings are a substantial means of day-by-day support.

GREGORIAN MASSES
Gregorian Masses are a series of Masses for one particular deceased person offered on 30 consecutive days. They are named after Pope St. Gregory the Great who was Pope from 590 to 604. Tradition holds that when a monk named Justus died, Pope St. Gregory had the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for the repose of his soul on 30 consecutive days. At the end of that time, Justus is said to have appeared to his brother, assuring him that he, Justus, had been released from Purgatory.
Consequently, the custom of offering 30 “Gregorian Masses” for one particular deceased person spread throughout the Christian world and is in practice today.
The Society for the Propagation of the Faith supports the tradition of sending offerings for the celebration of Gregorian Masses by priests in mission dioceses. Mission priests depend greatly on Mass offerings for their support as they serve among the very poor. They are willing to accept the special responsibility of celebrating Gregorian Masses, the 30-day series of Masses for one deceased person. In many instances, Mass offerings are the only support available to many mission priests.
Spiritually, as you unite yourself with the priest who offers the Sacrifice of the Mass for your intentions, you share a bond of great strength: love of Christ in the Eucharist, trust in His love for you and faith in the power of prayer.
