The bishops of Wisconsin have set the offering for a Mass to be celebrated for a particular intention at ten dollars. An offering is not to be understood as "buying" a Mass. Liturgical supplies and maintenance of the church are partially subsidized through the stipends received for the celebration of the Eucharist.

The Code of Canon Law (canon 946) states: The Christian faithful who make an offering so that the Mass may be applied for their intention contribute to the good of the Church, and by their offering take part in the concern of the Church for the support of its ministers and works.
