Tipping Question- What about the priest???

Re: Tipping Question- What about the priest???

good question, I need to find that out too!

Re: Tipping Question- What about the priest???

We are getting married by a deacon also. We were told when we met with the priest the first time and when we had pre-cana (with the deacon and his wife) - NO TIPPING!!!

Marriage is a sacrament and they do not accept tips for sacraments. You wouldn't tip for a baptism or communion, you don't tip for a wedding. The only time you would tip is if you are having a mass then you tip the alter servers. You do not tip the organist or the vocalist either, their fees are covered in your 'donation.'

As far as I know, you don't need to tip the priest - and if you try to, they are supposed to decline. I believe it's the same for a deacon as well. Did you ask the rehearsal lady at HNM? She might be able to help you.

I don't think you are supposed to tip for a sacrament.

Re: Tipping Question- What about the priest???

Definitely no tipping for the priest or deacon. If you want to show them your gratitude, then invite them to the RD.

Re: Tipping Question- What about the priest???

Our deacon specifically told us we are not allowed to tip for a sacrament - that it is not proper.
