Requesting a Mass with ACN is more than just submitting an intention; it is sharing the joy of Christmas with those who proclaim the hope of Christ in the most needy corners of the world.

When you offer a Mass, you will receive a special Christmas card, which you can personalize with the name of your loved one and the message you wish to send; this way, you can give it as a unique gift to someone you love.

Mass offerings open ourselves to God´s mercy, an expression of charity to which we provide our specific intentions.  The Eucharist is the heart of our faith and each Mass is said for both the living and the dead, uniting our donors closely with the life of the Church.

A Gift That Transforms

A Gesture of Faith that

Embrace Hearts

At this time when we celebrate the birth of Jesus, offering a Mass becomes a gift that warms hearts: the heart of the person you pray for and the heart of the missionary priest who, thanks to your gesture, can continue to bring comfort to communities marked by poverty and violence.

Gift of Hope

Each Mass is a bridge of love between your intention and the world's most needy communities.

Support for Missionaries

Our Mission

Supporting the Church

Needy

In many regions, the faithful are so poor that they are unable to support their priests. Even bishops often lack the financial resources necessary to ensure their regular maintenance. In these cases, Mass stipends are often their only source of income. Mass stipends are donations associated with requests for the celebration of Holy Mass for the deceased, the sick, or other causes.

As these missions are located in areas of extreme poverty, priests have no access to financial support, which is why they depend on donations made through ACN International’s Donate a Mass project.

Each Mass intention is sent to priests who are in remote mission regions or regions of great material and spiritual need.
