Having a Mass celebrated for a loved one or special intention is a longstanding tradition in the Catholic Church. Requesting a Mass for a particular person, group, or intention is a meaningful expression of faith and prayer. The offering made with your Mass request also helps support the ministry of Sacred Heart and the Franciscan friars who serve our parish.

How to Request a Mass Intention or Memorial Item
Parishioners and visitors are more than welcome to request a Mass by visiting the parish office during normal business hours (M-F, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.), sending an email to office@sacredheartfla.org, or by calling 813-229-1595, ext. 201.
Mass availability is listed in the calendar below. Masses available for an intention to be booked will be highlighted in teal, while those unavailable will be highlighted in gray.
Select the Mass in teal that you would like to put an intention on. This will open up a simple form for you to fill. Please ensure the information input to the form is correct before submitting, as any names/intentions will appear in the parish bulletin as listed.
If you have questions, comments, or instructions for us, please use the “Notes” field for this purpose. You may also use this space to list additional information about the intention… IE: First Anniversary, Birthdays, etc.
To receive a Mass card for your intention, please check the applicable box on the intention request form while also indicating how you would like to receive the Mass card. If you choose “other,” please elaborate in the notes field… IE: if it is being sent to another address other than your own, provide that information in the notes field for us.
Once you have entered all of the details, add the request(s) to the cart.
Memorials can be scheduled on this site in the same way. To book a memorial, such as a sanctuary candle, flowers, etc., choose “Request Memorial” from the toolbar and select the specific memorial item from the list that you would like to put an intention on.
