Hmmm. Does anyone here know how much we pay our priests?
Friends who are on the parish council of the local OCA church told me that their priest gets a 6-figure salary… :byzsoc:
 
I don’t recall exact figures to hand, but it’s more than my wife & I typically bring home jointly since my knee injury. (IIRC, it’s around $1800/mo for a pastor, plus housing, in Eparchy of Phoenix.) Local romans make a few hundred more.

Deacons, typically, are paid a token salary ($25 per month) in the Roman Archdiocese of Anchorage, plus honoraria for baptisms and weddings; this makes them employees, for purposes of insurance and liability. Those who work full time in a parish often get full time pay similar to a priest’s.
From what I’m told in Phoenix the priests are paid more like $1200/month, the LOWEST paid Catholic priests in the US.
