Having mass said for priest relative
Forgive me, I have a feeling this is going to seem like a really stupid question, but in all the decades, I’ve been going to mass, I’ve seen masses are said for deceased priest in our parish or relatives of people who have passed away. Whenever the priest has had a relative pass, whether his mother or brother or sister, I’ve never seen a mass said for them, and I wondered if it was proper to do that. We have a priest in our parish who lost his grandmother who raised him, although she lived in a different city about an hour from here. Do people not have masses said for priests relatives because they can do it themselves when they celebrate mass or offer their own intentions?
Again, forgive me if this sounds stupid,but I’ve never seen it over the years when the priest had relatives pass and I would think that someone at the parish would’ve done it
Thank you
