Sacrament Fees for St. George Cathedral

Please be advised that effective January 2007 a new fee structure was put into place as determined by the 2006 Parish Council.

This fee structure will affect only those sacraments that are booked after January 1, 2007.

There will be a fee of $500 for most sacraments with $50 of that going to the Cantor and $50 going to the Building Manager. The remaining amount covers the cost of opening the building. The chart below shows a breakdown of the fees:

  Stewards Non-Stewards
Baptisms $500.00 $500.00
Weddings $500.00 $500.00
Funerals 0 $500.00
Wakes (held in the church) $500.00 $500.00

Please keep in mind that you need to be a steward in good standing for the past two years for any sacraments. If you are not a steward you will have to pay for two years of stewardship in addition to the sacrament fee. The stewardship is charged at the minimum of $500 per year for a total $1000.

For example; for a wedding between two orthodox people, both bride and groom need to be stewards which means that they will both have to be stewards for the previous and current year. The cost for this example would be $2500, $1000 each for two years of stewardship and $500 for the sacrament fee.
