i know this is off topic but when my wife and i got married, we asked fr.mike fortich to officiate our marriage
he barely knew us..we just attended a seminar and he happend to be the speaker..and we thought, we want him to be our wedding priest. He did not ask even a single centavo and did not even attended the reception kay naa pa daw lakaw...
i guess he would do the same with burial masses.
i also know a lot of priest who would do these services for free however donations are encouraged for the benefit of the church's needs. if ibulsa sa pari, that's none of our business..that's Gods'.
we pay for plumbers to do plumbing, we pay mechanics to do our engines...
i think it is just right to donate sa church for the services, besides para man pud na sa kalambuan sa simbahan ug sa mga panginahanglan sa mga parkoyano...for repair,maintenance, sweldo sa mga TIG(tiglimpyo ug uban pa)
ug naa pud na sa mga needs sa pari.
again kung ibulsa man gani na, God knows and sees everything.
si Lord na bahala ana nilang mga abusado sa simbahan kung naa...
BUT if we judge them by what we know and see which we can all agree are only limited
aw..si Lord sad bahala sa ato...
