Mass Intention for the People of the Parish

[deaconswife]

I am looking for the canon that stipulates that one Mass on Sunday needs to be offered for the People of the Parish (living and deceased). I have been trying to find the citation in my Commentary on the Code of Canon Law, but like looking for something on the Internet or in a library wording is often the key to getting the right answer. Thanks in advance for any help.

Can. 534 §1 When he has taken possession of his parish, the parish priest is bound on each Sunday and holyday of obligation in his diocese to apply the Mass for the people entrusted to him. If he is lawfully impeded from this celebration, he is to have someone else apply the Mass on these days or apply it himself on other days.

§2 A parish priest who has the care of several parishes is bound to apply only one Mass on the days mentioned in §1, for all the people entrusted to him.

§3 A parish priest who has not discharged the obligations mentioned in §§1 and 2, is as soon as possible to apply for the people as many Masses as he has omitted.
