Mass and Prayers for the Entire Congregation 42Annually, each of the priests is to say one Mass for the entire Congregation, that it may grow in merit and in number. On the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with the participation of the community, the Superiors, on their part, must celebrate Mass for this same intention. Once a month, if possible on the day of the monthly retreat, the individual confreres shall offer their whole day’s prayers and pious exercises also for this same intention. (C 84) CM 411 Mass for the Superior General 43 Once a year in every house, with the community participating, one Mass is to be celebrated for the intention of the Superior General. (C 84) CM 412 Masses for Parents, Relatives, and Benefactors 44Likewise, every year in each house, two Masses shall be celebrated for the living and deceased parents and relatives of the confreres, and one for the living and deceased benefactors. (C 84) CM 413 Masses for all the Deceased Confreres and the Faithful 45 Each priest shall say one Mass each year for all the deceased members of the Congregation. One Mass is to be said once a year in every house for all the faithful departed. (C 85) CM 418 Place of Burial 46The professed are not allowed to choose for themselves a church for funeral services or a place for burial; each house may have its own cemetery, separate from the public cemetery. But, if they do not have one, an effort should be made, insofar as possible, that confreres be buried at least in a decent place, apart from the other deceased. (C 85) CM 409 Directory—Part II 196
