Many people come to us to ask for Masses to be offered in memory of their loved ones, as well as for living intentions.  As our parish has grown, it has been difficult to fulfill all of these requests, and our book of Mass intentions fills up immediately after it is opened for the coming year.   As a way to accommodate our parishioners and their families, we are offering other ways to memorialize those who have passed on to heaven.
