About

Mass Intentions

Features
Read full description

Mass Intentions helps priests, parish secretaries keep track of requested Mass intentions — who asked, for whom, when it's scheduled, and whether the stipend has been received. Track every intention at a glance Log each Mass intention with the requester's name, the date, an optional label for parishes with more than one Mass a day, and any notes. Mark intentions fulfilled as they're said, and see at a glance which ones are overdue. Stay on top of stipends A running summary shows stipends received versus outstanding, so nothing falls through the cracks — especially useful heading into a busy season like Christmas or Lent. Bulk-add without double-booking Adding a batch of intentions for a novena, anniversary Masses, or a full month at once? Batch scheduling automatically flags date conflicts before they happen. Share a clean schedule Generate a plain-text Mass schedule for any date range — ready to paste straight into a parish bulletin, email, or bulletin board announcement. See the liturgical calendar alongside your schedule Subscribe to any standard iCalendar (.ics) feed — including public liturgical calendars — to see feast days and liturgical seasons right next to your intentions. Sync and back up Your data syncs automatically across your devices with iCloud, and a Home Screen widget keeps upcoming intentions visible without opening the app. Export a full backup or a spreadsheet-ready CSV any time. Bilingual Available in English and Vietnamese (Tiếng Việt), with more languages planned. Whether you're managing a single parish or several, Mass Intentions keeps the ledger simple, accurate, and always up to date.
