Updated Stipend and Stole Fee Structure – Effective July 1, 2024

Updated Stipend and Stole Fee Structure – Effective July 1, 2024

The Diocese of Green Bay and our parishes are grateful to all those who have generously provided a donation for Masses, funerals, weddings and Quinceaneras in the past. The donation for these sacraments and services has remained the same for over thirty years throughout the Dioceses of Wisconsin. Recently, when the Bishops of the State of Wisconsin gathered, they decreed that stipends should be adjusted to reflect the current time. The new stipend structure is as follows:
  
     
Mass Stipend — $20
      Funeral Stole Fee — $75
      Wedding & Quinceanera Stole Fee — $100

This new fee structure will become effective July 1, 2024. It will not be applied retroactively to those who have already paid the appropriate amount from the former fee scale. The new fee structure will be applied to all new requests received as of July 1, 2024. As always, if someone is not able to offer the stipend, the parish is always happy to provide the sacrament or service with no fee. Please know, too, that any stipend money collected goes to the parish in support of its ministry and services provided to the parish
community; it does not go personally to the priest.

Please contact the parish office at (929) 788-9061 if you have any questions.
