Best Answer

The blessing of a house does not require a stipend, although it is always welcome. Instead of money, some families have a meal afterward to which the priest is invited. Some families give money anyway, as an expression of thanks to the priest for his services. The amount would depend on your means and the value of your money. $10 to 20 dollars is plenty for most areas I would think, considering that the stipend for a Mass is around $25 dollars.

What is the salary of a priest known as?

Catholic and Anglican priests do not get a salary. In the Catholic Church they get an allowance - a small sum of money that is paid to them for personal use so that they do not have to work in a secular job for a living, but can devote their time to serving God, the parish and the Church. The sum is rather small as all their day-to-day living expenses (heat, light, a house to live in, domestic help, electricity, food etc) are met centrally. In the Anglican Church the priests get a stipend. This is a larger sum of money given to the priest so that, again, he (or she!) does not have to work in secular employment for a living, but again can devote their time to priestly duties. Because Anglican clergy can marry and have families, the practice of meeting all everyday expenses would be impractical. Instead, in addition to a stipend, the priest has the use of a house rent free, and certain expenses (such as local council tax based on the house, telephone and internet expenses needed for parish work, and some expenses to cover hospitality) are met centrally. However, because of the larger stipend, the Anglican priest meeds all the rest of his/her expenses (heat, light, food ets) out of his/her own pocket.
