Request a Mass Intention
Due to the University's closure for the Christmas holiday, any Mass intention cards requested after December 15, 2025 to January 7, 2026 will not be processed until the New Year.
For those wishing to honor a loved one at Mass, Notre Dame Campus Ministry offers two special intention cards – one for living and one for deceased. Please complete the online form to request your Mass intention and a customized card will be mailed to the designated recipient.
Masses are offered by Holy Cross priests. Because of the number of Mass requests received, we cannot accommodate requests for specific locations, dates, or priests, nor can we provide the exact time and place the Mass will be offered.
If you have any questions or concerns while making your request online, please call (574) 631-7800.

- When will the Mass be said? Can I watch a live stream?
Once the intention has been assigned to a Holy Cross Priest, Masses are said in a timely manner. Because of the number of Mass requests received each month, we cannot accommodate requests for specific locations, dates, or priests, nor can we provide the exact time and place on campus the Mass will be offered.
- Will my prayer intention be read aloud?
While the Mass is offered for a particular intention, we do not announce them publicly. This is a longstanding policy since it would be impossible to accommodate all the requests if this were an option.
- When will the Mass card arrive?
All Mass cards are sent via USPS. Shipping can take 5-10 business days depending on the destination and USPS delays.
- Can you overnight the Mass card?
We are unable to send Mass cards via courier; only USPS.
- Can you send me blank Mass cards?
We do not send blank Mass cards to individuals. Our process ensures that a Holy Cross priest on Notre Dame's campus will say a Mass for the requested intention in a timely manner, so Mass cards from our office are only sent through this online request process.
- Is there a minimum donation?
The Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend suggests offering a Mass stipend of at least $10.
