The Code of Canon Law #848 states:
The minister is to seek nothing for the administration of the sacraments beyond the offerings defined by competent authority, always taking care that the needy are not deprived of the assistance of the sacraments because of poverty.
This means that the bishop may set standard fees or 'offerings,' but all fees must be waived for the poor. This also means that the fees will change from diocese to diocese.
With love in Christ.

No, there is not a fee. As the father of six, all of whom were baptized in the Catholic faith, I can attest by experience, that there is no fee. Also, the Catechism of the Catholic Church specifically does not allow the charging of a fee for a spiritual act, such as baptism. There is no doubt on this whatsoever, no fee. Anyone who says otherwise, the truth is not in him.

Great answer, dartheric.
Religious intolerance, anti-Catholic bigotry and false propaganda are politically correct, and socially acceptable.
If people did to Jews and blacks what is done to Catholics, they would find themselves in a lot of trouble.
There is not a single non-Catholic "Christian" web site that teaches the truth about the Catholic Church. None, and I challenge anyone to find one.
At the same time, there is not one Catholic web site that misrepresents or teaches falsehoods agaisnt any Protestant church, group, fellowship, or bless-me-club.
Catholicism is the true faith because we are persecuted just like Jesus promised, and no church is persecuted on the internet more than the Catholic Church.

I'll do it for a case of beer!
If there is, I think they call it an offering, a fee would be taxable.
There probably is, like for a wedding, just call the rectory and speak to the housekeeper, she will be able to tell you.
Forgive my joke, Iwas raised RC but do not believe in any now.
All the best to you and your baby

you be attentive to the catholic church isn't one in all those churches that demands a definite quantity of your earning for the church, i become raised a catholic, i even went to catholic college yet i'm now a baptist. i in my view think of while it is composed of donations to the church, the catholic church is the leanest. supply what you may have sufficient funds to grant, i do no longer want to grant a definite quantity, yet you would be attentive to your funds, and can determain what's a truthful quantity to grant.

The Bible makes it clear that false teachers will deceive many people into believing false doctrines. The only way to know for sure that you are right with God is to know what He has to say and trust Him rather than men. Read the BIBLE! your answer is there....

Probably. there's a fee for everything. But they probably just ask for a "donation."
