Booking of Masses: March 2022 including New Features
Based on feedback received, myCatholic.sg Mass Booking System has been enhanced with the following new features. Beginning 1 March 2022:
1. BOOK MASS AT ANOTHER CHURCH
Parishioners will be able to book for Masses at another church – other than their registered church. The permitted booking dates for Masses for another church will be the login date and the following two days’ Masses.
This allows parishioners to book the available Mass spaces at all other churches, except for the following:
- Church of St Michael
- Church of Holy Family
- Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Succour
- Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
Parishioners of these churches will, however, be allowed to book for Masses at parishes other than their own.
On booking days, parishioners will have priority of booking in their registered churches for any day’s Masses in the month, subject to the capped numbers. Thus, only registered parishioners can see the whole month’s Mass schedule of the church. Non-registered parishioners wishing to book at another church will only see a 3-day Mass schedule.
2. REVISED CAP
There will be a cap of 1 weekend and 6 weekday Masses per booking (increased from 5 weekday Masses). This is regardless of whether booking is made at your registered church or at another. This cap will be applied to ALL PARISHIONERS regardless of the church they are registered at.
3. BOOKING FOR STATIONS OF THE CROSS
Parishioners from churches which have separated bookings for Stations of the Cross on Fridays of Lent, will see a new tab for booking slots for this service. This is only available to registered parishioners of the church. There is no option to book Stations of the Cross at another church.
Parishioners from churches which have incorporated Stations of the Cross either immediately before or after Mass, will only need to book for Mass in order to attend both Stations of the Cross and Mass.

4. STANDARDISED BOOKING CANCELLATION & CUT-OFF TIME
A uniform 1-hour booking cancellation and 45-minute booking cut-off before the Mass time will be applied across ALL parishes.
5. BOOKING OF MASSES IN MARCH
This will be made available on the following dates:

Please note:
- Each booking allows you to book 1 weekend and 6 weekday Masses.
- Booking for individual churches is staggered at one of these times: 0900, 1200 and 1500hrs. All bookings are subject to availability. Please check for the exact booking time of your church on mycatholic.sg/schedule.
- Mass capacities will depend on the type of Mass catered for, and the seating capacity offered by individual churches.
Additionally, we would like to highlight that:
- The availability of public Masses will be subjected to mandatory adherence of the Government’s regulations and advisories.
- Children aged 12 years and younger can participate in all Masses, regardless of numbers and their vaccination status.
- Allocation of Mass seats will still be on a first-come-first-served basis, regardless of age.
- For Vaccinated-only Masses, proof of vaccination status will be checked upon entry.
- The seating capacity of the churches will not be changed once the Booking cycle has begun, unless the change is mandated by the Government’s regulations.
- Those who have recovered from COVID-19 up to 180 days from the first positive Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) test result obtained – will be permitted to book Vaccinated-only Masses.
- Persons who are medically certified as being ineligible for vaccination, and whose ineligible status is reflected in their TraceTogether or HealthHub records, will also be permitted to book the Vaccinated-only Masses.
- For more information, please check with your respective churches or visit mycatholic.sg.
