You can offer a mass on your 25th anniversary. If you like to give something to the priest give him your offering in an envelope. It can be any amount what you wish to give depending on your capability.
if you are a priest do you have to pay child support ?
It means you pay on the 25th of each month
not much...
It is not customary nowadays to pay the priest. This is due to churches actually charging up to $1000.00 for the ceremony to take place. As Priests do not officially have bank accounts, and as Catholics have no desire for consumeable things then there is no need to "pay" the priest. Instead a gift can be made to a priest, such as a nice artwork, plant or anything of aesthetic or religious value. Regards Fr. Duncan
A Catholic priest I know pronounces it agga - pay
Pay promptly and give him a thank you card.
Roman Catholic AnswerIt sounds as if you are asking about having Masses said for the deceased. Usually when you have such a Mass said, you offer the priest a stipend, or a stole fee. This is a free will offering given directly to the priest, not the Church, and it is to help him with his personal upkeep. It is NOT a fee for the Mass, it is a sin, called simony, to pay money for the sacraments. People have been supporting their priests for twenty centuries, St. Paul says that we are to do this.
The salaries of a priest come from the offerings that are given in church services. This does not include the tithe which is for the rent and bills of the temple.

You do not "pay" a priest for performing a sacrament, that is called simony, and it is a sin. Usually you give the priest a "stole fee" or a donation, you can call the parish office and ask what a usual donation is suggested, but such a thing is never required and is entirely voluntary. The parish secretary should be able to offer you suggestions as to how to go about it if you wish to give him a donation.
You would have to call the appropriate dioceses in each religion as each diocese has its own pay scale, and even then it would depend upon the job of the priest and by whom he was being paid.
