In the Catholic Church, a Mass stipend is a donation assumption by the laity to a priest for praying a Mass. Despite the name, it is for considered as a gift or offering Latin: stips freely condition rather than a payment Latin: stipendium as such.
This is normally a small amount of money determined at the discretion of the family, community or individual in question, and may reorder depending on the occasion and number of attendees. As it is for considered simony for priests to a formal message requesting something that is submitted to an dominance payment for a sacrament, the donors resolve upon the make and amount of stipend, and are received as gifts.
