SINGLE MASS is a Mass offered for general intentions, such as petitions, thanksgiving, among others. The Mass is scheduled at one of the selected parishes in Metro Manila. We have created a network of almost 100 parishes that are available to schedule the Mass intentions to be offered.

You may request for a particular date for the mass you want to offer by indicating the details of your intention(s) during the cart process in “Add Comments/Details About Your Order”. In return, we will reply to you as soon as possible: during the next working day to either confirm your date of choice or request you to suggest another date.

GREGORIAN MASSES is a set of 30-day Masses said every day without any interruption. It is said for ONLY one soul at a time by a priest. We have a network of priests and communities from various orders and congregations. They are committed to faithfully follow the strict norms of the Gregorian Masses, i.e to offer Gregorian Masses for a particular soul only for a period of 30 days.

The Gregorian Masses are said by a community of priests based in the Philippines. They dedicate one Mass every day for the intentions of the Gregorian Masses. It’s not necessary for the same priest to offer the same intention/soul during the 30-day period, but it is necessary that Masses be offered for a period of 30 days WITHOUT interruption for a particular soul. Otherwise, the Gregorian Masses for a particular soul that has been interrupted must be restarted all over again for a period of 30 days.

Take Note: Please do not forget to enter the intention(s)/soul(s) during the processing of your request.

Once we receive your Mass request, we will reply to you as soon as possible: during the next working day and confirm your request.

If you wish to have a Mass Card, we can personalize the card and address it to the person you wish to send it. The following information will be needed:

  1. the name of the soul the mass is intended for;
  2. the name of the one who requested the mass; and
  3. the name and complete address of the intended recipient (the bereaved family) of the Mass Card.

You may indicate this information during the processing of your order. Mass Cards are also available at our store online.

HISTORY OF THE GREGORIAN MASSES

An ancient but mostly unknown custom of the Church is the offering of a daily Mass for 30 days for a soul in Purgatory. After the Masses are said, the soul would immediately be freed from Purgatory and enter Heaven.

As its name implies, Gregorian Masses were named after St. Gregory the Great who was the pope from 590 to 604 A.D. This traditional sequence of Masses was not started by St. Gregory but became popular when he promoted it.

In his Dialogues, St. Gregory wrote that he had one Mass said each day over 30 days for the soul of Justus, a monk who had recently died. After the last Mass was said for him, he appeared to his brother, Copiosus, to tell him the good news of his departure from Purgatory into Heaven. Copiosus did not know about the 30 Masses that were said for his brother; he only found out about them later when he spoke to the monks about his brother’s deliverance.

In the church of Sts. Andrew and Gregory (located on Mt. Coelius, where Justus had died in the convent of St. Andrew), there is an inscription of a private revelation that St. Gregory received on the benefits of 30 consecutive Masses for a soul in Purgatory. It is not known why Gregorian Masses would release a soul from Purgatory. Notably though, the custom of praying 30 days for the dead can be traced back to the Old Testament. The Jews prayed for 30 days after the death of Moses according to their “days of weeping for the mourning rites” (Deuteronomy 34:8).

Thereafter, Gregorian Masses spread throughout Europe and many Religious Orders. It unfortunately faded after the Protestant Reformation and the French Revolution, but the love Catholics have for the holy souls gradually brought back this practice.

It is necessary that the 30 Masses must be said one day after another without any interruption. The way the Masses are to be said is once per day for 30 consecutive days. They can only be said for one person, who is in Purgatory, at a time. If the blessed soul is already in Heaven, the indulgences may be applied to another needy soul according to God’s infinite mercy.

Even if the Masses must be said one day after another without any interruption, there is an exception to this: when the last three days of Holy Week occur during the Gregorian Masses. The Masses, then, may be stopped until Easter Sunday and then continued on from that day.

Moreover, the 30 Masses cannot all be Masses of Requiem, but they can be said at any altar. However, a particular problem that might arise is that most parish priests will not have the time to do a daily Mass for an individual in Purgatory. The best solution to this is to find a priest who is retired or contact a monastery where you can usually find priests and monks available for Gregorian Masses.

If Gregorian Masses can be done; then, it is a great blessing for a soul in Purgatory. If the cost is too high, there are other effective ways to free souls from Purgatory, such as praying for them in Masses, rosaries, novenas, charitable works, among many others. Gregorian Masses are but one option we Catholics have to help those in Purgatory. (From Holy Souls Online)
