What Are Gregorian Masses?
Gregorian Masses comprise a classical series of thirty consecutive Masses, each offered for the same departed soul, without interruption. Rooted in the writings of Pope St. Gregory the Great, this tradition has endured for more than fourteen centuries and remains one of the most profoundly consoling practices of the Church for the faithful departed.
Each Gregorian Mass is a distinct offering of Christ’s sacrifice; taken together, they form a continuous liturgical embrace on behalf of the soul entrusted to God’s mercy.
Church Teaching & History
The Church holds the practice in deep esteem, affirming that the devotion is piously believed to obtain singular spiritual benefit for the deceased. While not a guarantee, Gregorian Masses constitute a sustained intercession of exceptional gravity and charity.
Our priests—serving in areas where Christian life is fragile—approach this series with great reverence. We will notify you when the 30-day sequence is scheduled to begin, and we will confirm its completion.
