Pope St. Gregory the Great encouraged the practice of what is now known as the Gregorian Mass

A Gregorian Mass (or Masses) are a collection of requiem masses of the Catholic Church offered for someone that has died. Gregorian Masses are unique in that they are offered for 30 days, often in a row. They are named after Pope Gregory the Great, who encouraged this practice.[1]
