The year for Priests - 19th June 2009 to 19th June 2010

Pre-signed Mass Cards Banned
The new law is under section 99 of the Charities Act and according to the Junior Minister responsible for Charities Regulation, John Curran, the tightening up of the legislation will ensure the good faith of people cannot be taken advantage of. The sale of pre-signed Mass Cards in shops, as opposed to directly from the Catholic Church, has been a matter of public concern for some time. The concerns are twofold: One, will a mass actually be offered in respect of the specific intention? Two, is there an element of profit behind the sale of such cards? Says Minister Curran. He continued "A mass card is purchased in good faith and often at times a great sorrow to demonstrate a person’s empathy and concern for others. It is inherently a decent act. I believe that people in such circumstances should have no doubt whatsoever that a mass will be offered for their intentions."
