Catholic AnswerTo pay for anything spiritual, especially a sacrament is known as simony. It is a sacrilege and a sin, it is called simony as Simon Magus who sought to purchase spiritual power from St. Peter in Acts 8:18. However, if a priest is doing something for you, it is customary to offer him a stipend or stole fee. A stipend is commonly given to the Church or a priest when asking for a Mass for a particular intention. A stole fee is a voluntary offering given to a priest for a baptism, marriage, etc. It is to help support the priest and one commonly offers it on those occasions, but it is not a "fee" for a sacrament, that would be simony.
