Non Catholic Mass Request

[awn]

A quick question from someone who may or may not decide to convert to Roman Catholicism: Can I request that a priest says the Mass in my intentions despite not (yet) belonging to the Church?

Of course!

So no restrictions at all for the requester (other than that I do not Commune, obviously)?

Nope! Though they may ask for a donation (generally around $10-$15 USD by my experience) to cover the supplies (bread, wine, etc). This is completely normal and they’ll still celebrate the Mass even if you don’t pay, the donation is optional.

Oh yes, I do know that a stipendium/donation is expected. Thank you very much for your help!

No problem!
