Mass intentions can be offered for the following examples:

• those who have died
• those who are sick
• those who are spiritually suffering and need a spiritual recharge
• to say thank you to God for everything He has given you (example: your loved ones)
• to commemorate a special event (example: a marriage, a baptism, confirmation, First Holy Communion, an anniversary, an ordination, etc.)
• for the continued support of the clergy
