Marian Catechist Mass Guild

The Mass Guild offers a beautiful alternative to traditional gift giving. Enrollment in the Guild is a gift with supernatural benefits…the graces we all need!
As Father John A. Hardon, S.J. explains: “We should encourage people to have Masses offered for their own and other people’s intentions. This is our faith. And not just for the deceased but for the living – the living who are suffering, the living who are in need, the living who are estranged from God. There is an extra ordinary special grace for those for whom Masses are offered.”

Who can be enrolled?
Anyone can be enrolled. The person may be living or deceased. He or she may be a friend or a family member, an acquaintance who is facing difficult times or even someone with whom we struggle.

What are the benefits of enrollment?
The one who is enrolled will be remembered in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass offered for members of the Guild each month for an entire year. The Masses will be offered at the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe in La Crosse, Wisconsin.

What kinds of enrollment are available?
There are two kinds of enrollment: In Memory or In Honor.

In Memory enrollment – to be used when the person enrolled is deceased.

In Honor enrollment – to be used to commemorate someone’s birthday, graduation, anniversary, retirement, Christmas, or simply as an expression of your love, admiration or concern. It may also be used as a gift for the person who “has everything he needs.” After all, we will always need more grace!

What is the cost of the cards and enrollment?
The actual cards are free. Once you receive the cards, we simply ask that you fill out the enrollment information below or complete the Mass Guild envelope and send it in, along with a donation of your choice, to the Apostolate. You then send the Memorial or In Honor card to the person in whose name you have made the gift.
