Offering a mass for a special intention is a long-standing tradition in the Catholic Church. Masses are offered for many reasons:
- In remembrance of someone deceased
- A living person who is sick or suffering
- A living person who is celebrating a birthday, anniversary, or another special moment in their life
- In thanksgiving to God (including the Lord Jesus or the Holy Spirit)
- For a special prayer intention
