Sacramental Stipends

When sacraments are celebrated at the parish, there is a required stipend or fee that is paid to the priest.

• For weddings, if parishioner, the stipend is $100 for the priest and $200 for use of the church.  Non-member: $100 for the priest and $300 for the use of the church.
• For funerals, the stipend is also $100. This is usually worked into the bill the family receives from the funeral home, along with a stipend for the pianist and the singer.
• For baptisms, the stipend is no less than $25. Each family is expected to present the stipend after the baptism has been celebrated.
• For Mass intentions, the stipend is $10.
