Requesting Masses

[Roseeurekacross]

Hi,

Can I ask Mass to be said for someone who suicided?

What is an appropriate amount to donate for Masses to be said.

Thanks

Peace

That varies by geography and local custom. Sometimes the diocese has a suggested stipend. In some places it’s expected to donate more if asking for a Sunday Mass in contrast to a weekday Mass.

Here is one quick example

Ask your parish priest. He can suggest an amount.

at my parish it’s usually around $10

and I don’t think they can refuse anyone who is unable to give.
