Gregorian Masses: A venerable tradition, newly within reach
Gregorian Masses are a time-honored Catholic tradition: thirty Masses offered on thirty consecutive days for the repose of a deceased person’s soul. They are a steady act of intercession, rooted in the Church’s long practice of praying for the dead and associated with St. Gregory the Great. In Sacramentum, parishes can optionally enable Gregorian Mass requests, and the system’s scheduling algorithm calculates the earliest possible 30-day consecutive window based on your parish’s Mass schedule, priest availability, and existing intentions, so the series can be fulfilled faithfully and without gaps.
What are Mass Intentions
A Mass intention is one of the most profound ways the Church prays for the living and the dead. Rooted in the earliest Christian tradition, offering a Mass for a specific intention unites that prayer to the saving sacrifice of Christ Himself. This article explains what Mass intentions are, why they matter, and how the Church carefully safeguards their sacred character.
Sacramentum Open Beta
Sacramentum is a parish management platform developed by an active Catholic priest with twenty years of ministry. Designed from within parish life, it helps priests and parish staff save time, remain faithful to canon law, and care for the people entrusted to them. Now launching in open beta, Sacramentum places the sacraments of the Church at the center, especially the Eucharist and Confession.
