MASS OFFERING
A Gift That Transforms Lives

Types of Masses You Can Request

Looking to offer a Catholic Mass for a loved one, a special intention, or in memory of someone dear?

Through Aid to the Church in Need (ACN) Malta, your Mass offering becomes more than a prayer – it becomes a lifeline for persecuted priests and suffering communities worldwide.

What Is a Mass Offering?

A Mass offering is a donation made when requesting a priest to celebrate the Holy Mass for a specific intention. Whether it’s a Mass for healing, thanksgiving, or the repose of a soul, your gift supports priests in regions where the Church is poor, persecuted, or suffering.

Your Mass offering helps sustain priests who serve in war zones, refugee camps, and remote mission territories – bringing the Eucharist and hope to those most in need.

Where Your Mass Offering Goes

ACN Malta channels 100% of your Mass stipends directly to priests in crisis regions, including:

  • Ukraine – where priests celebrate Mass in bomb shelters and minister to displaced families.
  • Nigeria – where priests offer Masses amidst violence and persecution.
  • Lebanon – where priests serve communities facing poverty and instability.
  • Haiti – where priests continue their ministry despite gang violence and church closures.

Your Catholic Mass donation becomes a source of strength for priests who rely on these offerings for their daily survival and pastoral outreach.

Why Your Mass Offering Matters

Every 22 seconds, a Mass is celebrated somewhere in the world for an ACN donor’s intention.

In many parts of the world, Mass stipends are the only income priests receive. Your Catholic Mass intention donation helps them:

Cover basic needs like food, shelter, and medicine.

Continue pastoral care and sacramental ministry.

Support the poor and vulnerable in their communities.

Stay spiritually nourished and mission-focused.

Aid to the Church in Need is a Pontifical Foundation of the Catholic Church and registered in Malta Reg. No. LPF-212 as a Foundation regulated by the second schedule of the Civil Code Chapter (16) of the Laws of Malta.
