Choosing the right number of missals ensures that you have plenty to go around without over-ordering. Here’s a quick guide to calculate the right number for your parish.

Key factors to consider

When estimating your order, use Mass attendance to estimate the number of missals you need. Consider:

Church capacity: How many people can your church hold at one time?

Average attendance: How many parishioners typically attend each Mass?

Seasonal surges: Keep in mind well-attended Masses like Christmas and Easter, when you’ll likely need more missals than usual.  

Aim for approximately one missal for every two to three people, depending on your set-up.

Case Quantities

Order missals in full case quantities to ensure accurate fulfillment and shipping:

  • Standard Edition Missals ship in cases of 16

  • Companion Missals ship in cases of 24

When entering your desired quantity, the system will automatically round your order to the nearest full case based on the edition selected.
