Mass IntentionsGuidelines for Mass Intentions
How do I request a Mass Intention? Please stop by the parish office and speak to the receptionist, or call 703-780-4055. Our receptionist will guide you through the process and let you know what dates and Masses are available. We will also ask you for information to help ensure names and pronunciations are correct and to your satisfaction. How many intentions may I request?
