Whether or not Catholic deacons get paid depends entirely on what their job is. A deacon in a parish may get paid depending on what he does for that parish. A deacon in a monastery would not be paid, any transitional deacon would be paid if and while he was working in a particular job, but would not be paid just for being a deacon.

Do ministers get paid in a parish?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe Church ministers, priests and deacons, get paid by the parish. The salary is set by the Bishop of the diocese in which the parish is. Parishes also hire music ministers, liturgy ministers, sisters to run various things, etc. The parish decides their salaries, usually, although there is a recommendation by the diocese as to what this should be. Most others are volunteers, there may be a paid person in the office who runs the Catechism program, but the Catechists are all volunteers from the parish. Likewise, the organist and song leader are paid, but the choir members are all volunteers, usually.

What is the salary of a deacon?
The Bureau of Labor Statistics lumps all religious leaders into the category of "clergy." The average annual salary for all clergy in the United States, according to the BLS was $46,960 as of May 2009. Because of the nature of deacons' work, a deacon may be able to earn that much money annually, if not more.That depends on the local diocese. Most often, deacons get no pay and serve with no salary at all. However, if assigned full time to a particular ministry, salary is possible and would be consistent with that paid to a lay person in the same position, such as Director of Religious Education or Pastoral Associate. But this is the exception not the rule.
How much do Catholic Deacons get paid in Chicago or NY?

What is the pension of a Catholic priest?
Every Catholic priest in the world is ordained by a particular Bishop. When he is ordained, he makes solemn promises of obedience to that Bishop and his successors. Thus he is paid either by that Bishop if he is a secular priest, or he is a religious priest, works for an Order (like the Jesuits or Benedictines) and does not receive a salary. If he is a diocesian priest, the diocese is responsible for him in his retirement, if he is a religious priest, then his Order will take care of him in his retirement. Thus every priest is going to have a different "pension" from nothing, if he belongs to a religious Order and has taken a vow of poverty, to whatever his Bishop thinks he needs to live.

Do Bishops and Cardinals in the Catholic Church get paid?
Yes. It is a job. Most have other responsibilities too, as most cardinals are bishops, so they would be paid.Catholic AnswerMost Cardinals are bishops, although some are priests. Cardinals do NOT get paid for being a Cardinal, they continue in whatever job they that had before being appointed cardinal and are paid for that job. For instance, if they are a bishop of a diocese, then they continue to receive their salary as a bishop. If they work in the Curia, then they continue to receive their salary for that. Being a cardinal has no bearing whatsoever on their pay, and they are not paid for being a cardinal.
