The Archdiocese of Santa Fe allows a maximum of three intentions per Mass, making an exception to standard Canon Law which traditionally limits each Mass to a single intention.

Key Policy Guidelines

• Three Intentions Limit: While general Church law establishes one intention per Mass, the Archdiocese of Santa Fe permits up to three distinct intentions.
• Individual Names: An additional exception allows the grouping of up to three names within a single combined intention, though authorities advise against abusing these exceptions.
• Single Person Focus: Guidelines strongly prefer that each separate intention remains for just one individual person or a married couple.
• Avoid Trafficking: Any appearance of trading or trafficking mass offerings is strictly prohibited.
