My church is charging:

$400 for 'suggested' donation
$350 for their organist and vocalist
$20 each alter server (even though we're not having a mass)

And we're a part of this parish!

$500 'suggested DONATION' to the Church
$375 for Music
$20 each Alter Boy (which there will be 2)

Cost to feel like your getting ripped off?
PRICELESS!

No fee listed for alter servers but I figure they get tipped.
