Gracious God, 

through the intercession of Our Lady of the Assumption, 

open our lives to Christ, 

who wishes to be born in us 

as He was born one day to Mary, His mother. 

Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

Mass Intentions

It has been a long tradition in the Church to offer Masses for people to pray, especially for the dead, seeking God’s grace, mercy, and spiritual benefits through Christ’s sacrifice. Usually a modest donation is given for this. In the coming weeks we have several Masses with no particular intentions. If you would like to have a Mass offered for someone (living or deceased), email the parish office at info@oratorychurch.org or click here.
