Even if you belong to the Parish? WOW! The Church was free, we paid the music director and the altar server, made a donation to the church for Father’s time and that was it.
Yep. I do know that some pastors will waive the fee for faithful couples and faithful departed. Otherwise, nope. There’s a fee for weddings and funerals completely separate from the altar servers and musicians.
Same here. The priest that married us refused to accept a cent. So I made a chalice and paten for him.
