In the Catholic Church, a Mass can be offered by a priest for some pious intention specified by a person who pays a stipend to the priest. A Mass card or Mass offering card is a holy card which records the intention. Often, this is the repose of the soul of a dead person; this is a kind of prayer for the dead. The mass may be offered shortly after the death, in which case the mass card, also called a remembrance card, can be sent to the chief mourners as a token of sympathy. Masses may also be said near the anniversary of a person's death in memorial. Some people leave a bequest in their will to be used as a stipend for future masses to be said for them.

A Mass card or Mass offering card is a holy card which records the intention. Often, this is the repose of the soul of a dead person; this is a kind of prayer for the dead.

Masses may also be said near the anniversary of a person's death in memorial. Some people leave a bequest in their will to be used as a stipend for future masses to be said for them. Prayers for the dead have been a part of the Mass since the time of the Church Fathers, and are part of the Canons of Hippolytus. The Gregorian mass, instituted by Pope Gregory the Great, is a sequence of a thirty Masses celebrated on thirty days - usually consecutively - for the repose of one deceased soul. One can visit a parish priest or other priest and arrange with him to have a mass said, give payment and receive a mass card. Alternatively, shops specialising in religious goods, and other shops in heavily Catholic areas, may act as agents, by selling mass cards pre-signed by a priest. The buyer indicates the intentions on a slip forwarded later by the agent to the priest, who celebrates the mass.
