People often ask how much does it cost to have a Mass offered for a certain intention. At Corpus Christi Parish they were told $5.00, but awhile back the bishops of the Boston Province decreed that the stipend should be $10.00.

Fr. Mawn never made any change but we recently started informing people of this when they call to have a Mass offered.

The Church allows for stipends to cover the expenses associated with the Mass and maintaining the facilities.

However, we do not charge a fee for Sacraments or prayers.

If someone cannot afford the $10.00, we will be happy to accept less or nothing at all, and still offer Mass for their intention.

Thank you.
