Hi, Len —
Thanks for your question.
I would suggest you call the parish
office and ask the business manager.
I don't think it's a universal custom.
It is certainly not practiced in
the parish I attend. The priest already
receives a salary, albeit modest.
It is more likely the custom to give
a $10.00 tip to the altar servers,
if there are any present to assist.
This is more of a custom at weddings,
but it has been known to happen at
private Baptisms.
