FAQs
How do we submit information if we have a mission church or one parish with multiple churches/sites?
If you have a mission parish, please enter each parish and mission.  If your parishes are combined under one name (Harper and Marion Counties), you can enter totals at the end of each weekend. We will know the site where Mass was celebrated by the designated Mass time.

Do we count Sunday Obligation Masses at chapels?
If you have a Sunday obligation Mass in a chapel, you should conduct Mass counts and submit those totals on online.

Do we count Sunday Obligation Masses that are celebrated on a regular basis (monthly), but not weekly
Yes. There is a special notes section at the end of the online form.  Please use this section to denote Masses that are regularly celebrated, but not each week.

Changes to the Mass Schedule
If you have changed the weekend schedule in the last year (October 2025-September 2026), please be certain to note it on the online form.
