There is never a direct fee for the parish priest, deacon or lay minister. Given the financial challenges many of our parishes experience, a generous donation at the time of funeral is very much appreciated, even being mindful of services provided to the deceased throughout the years as a parishioner.
And the price of a first class (1) ounce letter sent through the United States Post Office remains at $0.49 for letters mailed within the United States. The fee will continue to apply and extend for some indeterminate period of time.
By a few cents. The U.S. Postal Service is lowering the price of postage stamps for the first time in 97 years, the agency announced Thursday. The price of a stamp to mail a standard letter will drop from 49 cents to 47 cents on Sunday, Fortune reported. The price of a postcard stamp will fall to 34 cents, down 1 cent. International mail will fall to $1.15 from $1.20.
