About Mass Stipends
Pontifical Mission Societies exists to support the new emerging churches to become self-sufficient. 40% of dioceses across the world are poor; they are not able to support themselves or have a priest in a permanent post to cover their spiritual needs. Priests reach out to faraway communities with very little resources or food to sustain themselves in long journeys and religious services. Sometimes this is impossible due to a lack of money for transportation. Many of them live with scarce resources but they persevere with their vocation and love for God’s people. Your mass offerings make it possible for priests to strengthen their communities with the love of God through the sacraments. The mass stipends are sent to missionary countries and are often the only source of income for these priests.
Please support overseas missionaries, so that they may continue with their religious service in a dignified way. Request a mass offering that responds to your spiritual needs:
- A mass for your special intention, $10 offering per mass
- Novena Masses – 3 or 9 consecutive days, $10 offering per mass
- Gregorian Mass – 30 consecutive days, $300 offering
