(The scheduling of Mass intentions will continue through Friday, October 16, 2020. Future call times to be announced.)
The current Mass stipend is $10 per Mass. You may either mail (check/money order only; no cash) to: St. John the Baptist Pastoral Center, 1501 Virginia Avenue, Monaca, PA 15061; or submit the stipend by placing it in the collection basket in an envelope clearly marked 'Mass Stipend' along with your name and phone number on slip of paper placed inside. Your intention will not be recorded in the Mass Book until the stipend is received. Please note that messages left on the answering service or emails to the office regarding Mass intention requests will not be returned/addressed. No exceptions!
Each registered family is entitled to two Masses. You may either have one Sunday/Holy Day plus one weekday or you may have two Weekday Masses.
Parishioners who will be celebrating a milestone event such as 25th, 40th or 50th Wedding Anniversary should contact the Parish Office by Friday, October 2. Parish Organizations requesting a special Mass should call prior to Friday, October 2.
Please be aware that as we begin the process of merging our parish grouping into one parish in July 2021, there may be the possibility that your Mass intention(s) could move to another worship site within our grouping. The day and date would remain the same; only the Mass would be offered at a different church location. Intentions for the Sanctuary and Marian Shrine Candles will also be accepted.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation and understanding
