Suggested Offerings
We receive many calls to the church office questioning the “cost” of services at the church. There are no 'specific' costs; however, for those needing a structure, we offer the following guide of “suggested” offerings:
Sunday Liturgy Intentions: $10.00
40-Day Memorial Service: $50.00
Sacraments of Initiation: Baptism, Chrismation and Eucharist: $150.00
Wedding: $400.00
Funeral: $400.00
These are not personal gifts to the Priest. When you give an offering at the time of the Sacraments, please place it in an envelope and mark on it the specific intention. If you are giving by check, please make it payable to “St. Elias Church.” A personal gift to the priest celebrating your intentions is always optional (personal gift checks should be made payable to the name of the priest).
