Outsourcing Holy Mass

A Holy Mass at the St Joseph Catholic church in Kochi is being conducted.
The language is Malayalam, but the intentions are dedicated to a departed
soul in Germany.
At the end of the mass, the Catholic parish that conducted it
will be richer by 50 euros because it was a memorial service that a German
couple had 'outsourced' for their son who died of cancer two
years ago.
Welcome to religious outsourcing!


Also reported here and in www.larepubblica.it

The best rate I could find to book a mass on line was at another St Josephs

I couldn't figure what currency the prices ahem "offerings" are expected to be.
