the_rev Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Ok, I know I should know this, because I've asked father Dave before, but I just can't seem to remember, what they are. I have noticed in our church bulletin each week or everyother week, there are "stole fees", What exactly are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cappie Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 Stole Fees are usually free will offerings given by the laity to clergy for different rites or ceremonies associalted with the church, but not the offering of Mass which is goverened by Canon Law and is usually called a Mass Offering or stipend. Stole fees in Australia include offerings for Baptisms, weddings, funerals, house blessings and other associated blessings such as cars. I am not sure what the custom is in the USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
