My good friend’s Mother passed away on Saturday and I would like to offer a Mass for her soul through one of the local parishes. I don’t belong to any parish, though and I don’t know how much of a gift I should pay the priest. Is a there a customary stipend? I don’t have much of an income, but what I have, I would offer gladly, but I would almost rather not offer at all if it would be offensive to the priest. (This is all very unfamiliar territory to me, yet)
I made a special rosary and have been praying the rosary for the dead and the chaplet of Divine Mercy for the eternal rest of her soul - do I continue these daily prayers until Saturday? (I seem to recall reading something regarding the first Saturday after death being significant.)
I would like to give the rosary to her daughter when I am done with it, with the note that a mass was offered and faithful prayers given for the soul of her Mother - is that appropriate?
Thanks in advance for any guidance on this matter,
Elizabeth
