Privacy Policy

Last updated: June 4, 2026

Overview

Manchester Area Pastorate (Manchester, IA) uses MassRequest.com to manage Mass intention requests online. MassRequest.com is operated by Mediatrix Digital LLC. This policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use this website.

Manchester Area Pastorate may have its own privacy policy. Visit their website at https://blessedtrinitycluster.com for more information.

Information We Collect

Account information: When you create an account, we collect your name and either your email address or mobile phone number (or both, if you choose to add both). You can also submit a Mass intention request as a guest without creating an account first; in that case we collect the same information at the time you submit and verify it via a one-time code, and an account is created or linked to your existing record once verification succeeds.

Parish affiliation: Manchester Area Pastorate asks which parish you belong to when you request a Mass. Your answer is stored with your membership at Manchester Area Pastorate and is visible to its administrators. You can update it anytime from your profile.

Mass intention requests: When you submit a Mass intention request to Manchester Area Pastorate, we collect the intention text, preferred dates, and any recipient details you provide. If you choose to send a Mass card, this includes the recipient's name and, optionally, their email address so we can notify them when the Mass is offered.

Payment information: Mass offering payments are processed securely via Stripe on behalf of Manchester Area Pastorate. We do not store credit card numbers. Stripe may collect additional information as described in their privacy policy.

Technical data: We automatically collect certain technical information for spam prevention and security purposes.
