This is easier to achieve when things are going positively, and life is good. It is when suf- fering, disappointment, death, hardship, and injustice enter the picture that things can become unsettled and disoriented. Our faith in the goodness and love of God is tested. We tend to shift our focus on these difficult and challenging moments and do not see them within the greater picture of how God intends life to unfold. We can gain, from the passion and resurrection of Christ, the clear vision we need in order to move away from ignorance to enlightenment. We need our “aha” moment when everything comes together and clicks. It can come in a fleeting instant when we feel totally connected with God, where we find ourselves, others and all of creation. It is a mo- ment when all is right and good, regardless of how difficult our journey. Our “aha” moment assures us that God is here, right with us, in us and around us bringing us a gift and blessing we can receive nowhere else: peace. In those brief sacramental encounters when we are lifted up out of our- selves and centered, we can hear God say, “peace be with you,” and we feel secure. It’s all okay. The resurrected Christ has the power to bring this gift to us. Some people, as they are facing their deaths, remark about this peace. When looking into the window of eternity, they experience a depth of joy and are amazed at God’s goodness and closeness. We are called to be witnesses to this Good News.© LPI Sacrament of Confirmation is Thursday, April 22nd at 7:00PM (students must arrive at 6:15PM) at Ss. Gregory & Barnabas Church, Daisytown. The rehearsal for all candi- dates and their sponsors will be held on Wednesday, April 21st at 7:30PM.

  • Remuneration and Benefits for Archdiocesan Priests for Ministry Expenses Covered Under the Professional Allotment
    May 26, 2021 Dear Rev. Monsignor / Father: Enclosed with this letter is the Remuneration Policy FY2022 for active priests assigned in the Archdiocese of Boston and approved by His Eminence, Cardinal Sean P. O'Malley, OFM, Cap. Kindly note that the policy, enclosed with this letter, applies to incardinated priests and religious order priests serving in assignments by the Archbishop to parishes or archdiocesan institutions within the Archdiocese of Boston; it does not apply to senior priests, priests on health leave, or other priests of the Archdiocese who receive stipends and benefits from the Clergy Trust or other funds. The name of Clergy Benefits has changed to “Clergy Trust” throughout the policy. I encourage you to read the enclosed document in detail and save it for future reference. Remuneration payment schedules attached to the enclosed policy indicate the approved remuneration according to year of ordination for Archdiocesan priests participating in Social Security and for religious order priests in Archdiocesan assignments. All priests are encouraged to enroll in Social Security. Not participating in Social Security may prevent a priest from accumulating 40 quarters which is needed to qualify for Medicare A & B at age 65, thereby creating an increased burden on the Clergy Funds. Effective July 1, 2021, the base stipend for an Archdiocesan priest for fiscal year 2022 is $30,867 and the base stipend for a religious order priest in an Archdiocesan assignment is $28,390, reflecting a 0.3% increase, based on the Boston Consumer Price Index increase. The annual assessment for priest health and dental benefits for fiscal year 2022 will increase to $20,676 per year.

  • A Little Bit About Mass Stipends… Offering a Stipend to a Priest So That
    A little bit about Mass stipends… Offering a stipend to a priest so that he will remember a particular intention of a member of the faithful is a longstanding custom in the Roman Catholic Church. All of the priests here at St. Monica are available for this and more than likely they are praying for someone’s particular intention every time they have a Mass. The stipend offering in the Archdiocese of Indianapolis is $10.00 and is intended to commit the priest to celebrating the Mass. The stipend is simply an offering; Masses can be offered free if the person desiring the intention is unable to offer any stipend. The intention for a Mass is mostly to pray for the repose of the soul of a person who has died, but can also be for a special intention or a private one. The stipend is offered for the priest to add this intention to his own personal intentions. A priest may have other intentions in addition to the one the stipend is offered for. Additionally, the priest does not have to know the person for whom the Mass is offered as long as he is celebrating the Mass according to the intention of the donor. There can be some confusion about how all this works at St. Monica, below are some guidelines to help you. If there are any questions don’t hesitate to call our office (317-253-2193, opt 2) and speak to one of our Administrative Assistants. Here are the guidelines: 1. Universal Church discipline as contained in the Code of Canon Law (Canons 945-958) of the 1983 Code of Canon Law is what regulates the offerings made for the celebration of Mass.

  • Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners
    Mass Stipend Guidelines to Our Parishioners From the very beginnings of the Church, it was customary for the faithful to donate the bread and wine to be used in the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. In time, offerings of money were substituted for the actual bread and wine. Money given in excess of what was necessary for the procuring of the bread and wine was used to assist the poor and, eventually, to support the clergy. Thus, it became customary for the priest to accept from the faithful a donation (formerly called a “stipend”) in return for remembering a specific intention in the celebration of a Mass. Through this voluntary offering, the donor seeks spiritual benefits that God may bestow upon the persons or concerns that are specially held in prayer at the Mass. What is more, the Code of Canon Law (canon 946) notes that the donor himself benefits: “Christ’s faithful who make an offering so that Mass can be celebrated for their intention contribute to the good of the Church, and by that offering they share in the Church’s concern for the support of its ministers and its activities.” According to the Council of Trent (1545-1563) , the Mass “is quite properly offered according to apostolic tradition not only for the sins, punishments, satisfactions and other needs of the faithful who are living, but also for those who have died in Christ but are not yet fully purified” (Session XXII, Chapter 2). The deep faith and ardent charity of the parishioners of Parish of the Precious Blood manifests itself in the numerous Mass offerings you donate to the parish, especially for your beloved deceased.

  • POLICY 3.5.2 Mass Stipends
    POLICY 3.5.2 Mass Stipends There is a long history in the Catholic Church of Mass stipends. These are donations made by the Catholic faithful to the priest for the celebration of Mass. Usually, the person making such a donation also asks the priest to pray for their intention during that Mass – this may be for the spiritual benefit of a deceased friend or relative, for the intention of the donor or of another worthy intention. The specifics of the intention need not even be known to the priest, but we trust that God knows of the donor’s intention. In every way, we are to discourage any semblance of simony, or the idea that one can “buy a Mass”. The Mass stipend is simply a donation made to the priest in consideration of his ministry. Because there is a service directly applied to the donation, a charitable donation receipt for income tax purposes cannot be given. The Code of Canon Law (Canons 945-958) has established some ground rules for Mass intentions, so that there be no abuse of this practice. In short, what is stipulated is that: The practice of accepting Mass stipends is safeguarded in Church practice. The stipend is for the free use of the priest only after that Mass has been celebrated. It cannot be used prior to satisfying the intention by saying the Mass. If a priest presides at a second Mass on the same day, the amount of the second stipend shall not be kept by the priest (see below). This does not apply to Christmas Day.

  • PPT Mass Stipend Workshop for Website-1.Pdf
    Overview Church Law – Definitions – Code of Canon Law Internal bookkeeping practices Civil Law – Taxable income for priest – Tax deductibility for donation? Definitions Stipend (Mass Stipend) A Stipend is a ‘free-will offering’ made by an individual (not by the Church) to a priest celebrating or concelebrating a Mass which is to be applied (said) for a specific intention. This is not dependent upon a payment, a priest will offer the Mass as a normal part of his duties without expectation of payment. Stole Fee (aka remuneration for extra clergy) A “Stole Fee” refers to money given to a cleric for the performance of sacramental functions i.e.: baptisms, weddings, funerals, penance services. Nota bene!! “Extra clergy” (not assigned to your parish) receive both the stipend (if there is one) and the stole fee. Clergy assigned to the parish receive only the stole fee for events that take place at the parish or are part of the parish ministry (e.g. a graveside-only service done by the priest/deacon as part of his parish duties). Code of Canon Law Canon 945 §1. In accord with the approved practice of the Church, any priest celebrating or concelebrating is permitted to receive an offering to apply the Mass for a specific intention. §2. It is recommended earnestly to priests that they celebrate Mass for the intention of the Christian faithful, especially the needy, even if they have not received an offering. Canon 946 The Christian faithful who give an offering to apply the Mass for their intention contribute to the good of the Church and by that offering share its concern to support its ministers and works.
