When a Mass is requested, we will allocate a date if you specifically request one (e.g. an anniversary or similar), otherwise the intention will be written in the Mass Intention Book, and it will be offered when it comes round in the order in which they are booked. Please indicate if you would be happy if the Mass is celebrated outside the Parish (especially in cases where there are many requests for the same person; the Mass can often be offered by another priest sooner).

Hopefully this will prevent the diary from becoming full weeks ahead, especially when someone requires a date urgently for someone.
