3100 FACULTIES (STATUTES – 1969 – #158) #

Application for the Faculties of the Archdiocese should be made in writing and presented in person by the applicant to the Chancellor.
No priest, secular or religious, who is not known to be in good standing in his own diocese or community shall be invited to give missions, retreats, etc., within the Archdiocese.

3110 SPECIAL FACULTIES, ETC. (STATUTES – 1969 – #159) #

Requests for any special faculties, privileges, permissions, etc., should be made in writing to the Chancellor. In each case, the reasons or causes prompting the request should be stated.

3120 VISITING PRIEST – MASS (STATUTES – 1969 – #160) #

If a priest is to say Mass regularly in a church or chapel of the Archdiocese, his good standing with his own diocese or religious community should be known or established.
If a visiting priest has neither celebret nor credentials and he is unknown to the pastor or associate pastor, he may be permitted to celebrate Mass three times, provided he wears priestly attire, does not get any remuneration under any title from the church in which he celebrates Mass, and signs his name, office and diocese in the register kept in the sacristy for that purpose.

3200 STIPENDS #

3210 GENERAL GUIDELINES: (STATUTES – 1969 – #63) #

All priests must have a special book for stipends received in which are to be noted the number, intention, offering and the actual acquittal. This book is subject to episcopal inspection at the time of canonical visitation. It should be shown also to the dean when he makes his annual visit to the Church.
Those who have an excessive number of intentions may send them to any priest of their choice. But it is
strongly urged that they keep in mind those priests of our own Archdiocese who are in need of intentions. Surplus Mass stipends can be sent to the Chancery Office for distribution according to need.

3320 AMOUNTS (STATUTES – 1969 – #64) #

The stipend for a low Mass to be said at the convenience of the celebrant shall be $2.00.

The stipend for an announced Mass to be said at a specified time shall be $3.00.

When a sum of money has been left for Masses in a will without a specified number of Masses to be applied, the stipend for each Mass shall be $5.00.

It is allowed to receive a stipend that is larger than the offering specified above, provided it be freely and spontaneously given and, in the case of the poor, it is allowed

to take less than the usual offering; but no one shall arbitrarily lessen or increase the amount of Mass stipends noted above.

Priests should never deny the poor the consolation that comes from having a Mass offered, celebrating it without any stipend.

3330 ALL SOULS’ DAY (STATUTES – 1969 – #65) #

In regard to the offerings made on November 2, let the faithful be told each year that these are not stipends in the proper sense, but alms on the occasion of the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed. Priests should celebrate some Masses, however, for the intentions of the donors.

The offerings and obligations are to be equally divided among all the priests assigned to the parish.

3240 RESULT OF SURVEY FOR SUGGESTED STIPENDS AND BENEFITS #

(Following is the result of a survey made by the Senate of Priests in December 1981. Eighty-five percent of the parishes responded to the questionnaire. What is listed is the median amounts for those who responded. It is presented to you only as the result of a survey and not as a policy or definitive guideline).
