WE ARE HONORED TO CELEBRATE A MASS FOR YOUR
SPECIAL INTENTIONS
The practice of requesting a Mass to be offered for loved ones, living or deceased, is a beautiful and
wonderful part of our Catholic tradition. Masses are offered for many reasons: for the souls in pur-
gatory, in remembrance of someone who is deceased, or in honor of a birthday.
If you would like to have a Mass said for someone, please call our parish office at (818) 342-4686 to
request a Mass intention or email administrator@ourladyofgrace.org During this time that we
experience “Stay at Home” orders due to Covid-19, Fr. Marinello continues to celebrate daily Mass in private
and offers Mass for those intentions that have been requested. Below is our list of intentions from May 2020.
