Fees

Although  the  message of the  gospel is God’s free gift to us (1 Corinthians 9:18), there are expenses.The Redemptorists will strive  together with  the parish  for  good  stewardship in this area.

The Redemptorists ask the parish to pay the missionary(ies) actual  travel,  lodging and food expenses.  We use the most economical form of transportation time and schedule permit. A statement  of travel  expenses  will be  given  to  the pastor during the mission.These expenses will not be a barrier for a parish wanting a mission. Please let us know if assistance is needed to make appropriate arrangements.

There  is  no  set  fee  or  stipend for  the  mission; instead, a

free will offering is requested. This offering takes the form of a   collection  at  the  mission’s  evening  closing  Mass.  The previous night of the Mass, the missionary(ies) willannounce this  collection and  distribute envelopes. There should be no other  collections  during  the  mission.  Since the missionary(ies)  are  not salaried   and   receive   no  other   health  and retirement  benefits,  this collection is the sole means of their ministerial and personal support.

The  parish  is  responsible  for all other  expenses related to the mission.
