The most common intentions

  • for a deceased person – e.g. “For the repose of the soul of John Smith”, “For my late parents John and Mary”,
  • on the anniversary of death – “For Anne Brown on the first anniversary of her death”,
  • for health – “For health and strength for Peter during his illness”,
  • in thanksgiving – “In thanksgiving for graces received, asking for God's continued blessing on our family”,
  • for a birthday, name day or wedding anniversary – “On the 25th wedding anniversary of Mary and Thomas, asking for God's blessing”.

A particular date

If the Mass should be celebrated on a particular day – an anniversary, a birthday, a name day – give that date in the form and request the Mass well in advance. We will try to reserve it, and if the date is already taken, we will suggest the nearest available one.

Several Masses for the same intention

If you would like to offer more than one Mass, see the novena for the dead, the novena for the living or – for one deceased person – Gregorian Masses.

How to request

Fill in the form, giving the intention and the date, if any. We will reply by e-mail with the date, and after the Mass has been celebrated we will send a confirmation. See: How to request a Mass and Mass offering.

Questions and answers

Can I attend the Mass I have requested?
The Masses are celebrated in Belarus, so those who request them usually unite themselves with them spiritually – in prayer at the time given. That is why the confirmation always states the date and time.
Can I commend several people in one Mass?
Yes, one or several people can be commended in a single Mass, for example “For my late parents John and Mary”.

The Shrine of Our Lady of Białynicze

For centuries Białynicze on the Druts river was one of the most important Marian shrines of the old Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, known as the “Częstochowa of Belarus”. The Carmelite church with the miraculous image of Our Lady, crowned in 1761, was destroyed in Soviet times.

Today the parish is rebuilding the shrine, and every Mass requested here supports this work.
