    Well, I was a bit reluctant to post this earlier but now that it's been suggested I guess it's ok.

    Does anyone know where you'd get a signed Mass Card around the centre of Dublin? I don't want a printed one but I also don't want to have to walk into a rectory. Is there any walk-in place that anyone knows of where you'd get an actual signature?

    Perhaps the Dominican's at St Saviour's Church might? I've no idea, since I do not know Dublin really, but it could be a possibility.

    I have gotten a few in the Pro-Cathedral shop on Cathedral St. It has printed text but has the priests signature

    Gracias Amigos. The Pro-Cathedral sounds handiest. Not sure where St. Saviour's Church is, Smurf, but will google if needs be!

    The Franciscan Church, Adam and Eve's, on Merchant's Quay do signed Mass cards, as do St Teresa's on Clarendon Street (just off Grafton Street) and Whitefriar Street Carmelite Church as well.

    God bless :)

    Cheers, Piano Man. 'Tis a good song you sing. ;) I think the ones with a written signature look better than the ones with a printed one. Plus, I've heard stories that the names aren't always passed along to the Priest by the shops who sell the ones with a pre-printed sig. I'm sure it only applies in a tiny minority of cases, but still.

    It was a major problem until they clamped down on it recently. I used to work in a newsagents and we would sell printed mass cards and we would take the name of the person and whether it was a death or illness and when the list reached 50 or so it would be faxed onto this company based in Longford I think that would organise a priest in the Cathedral at Longford I think to say a mass. It was all very dodgy and I dont even know if the manager ever bothered to fax on the names half the time.

    Hmm, now I definitely think I'll be buying them in Churches from now on. The main reason for getting them, apart from a show of sympathy, is to do something positive for the person who has died, by getting prayers said for them.
