If you baptized DC

Did you give a donation to the church/priest/reverend?  I'm trying to remember what we did when my son was baptized and I just can't remember.

Yes we gave $50

We gave $100 when we had the twins baptized (FIL gave $50; we gave $50) however; when Logan was done we didn't b/c we honestly didn't have the money. FIL always makes large donations to the church though.

Yes.  We gave $50 to the priest and an addtional $50 to the church (over our usual offering).

I'm sure this was unique for a Catholic Church but when we baptized dd we tried to give a 75.00 donation.  The preist gave it back to dh and told him to put it in the babies college fund instead because it would do her more good there!

Thanks everyone.  Did you do cash or a check, and did you give it straight to the priest/reverend right after the baptism?

There is a "mandatory donation" of 50.00 to our church but we gave 100.

Yup, we gave $200 or so.  Our priest is a personal friend.  If we didn't know him well we probably wouldn't have given so much.

We gave a check, made out to the priest, right before the baptism.  It was easier to just give it to him then.

We have $150 for 2 kids.

We did both.  My dad made a donation to the church that the kids were baptized at ($100 I think).  Then with DD we also gave th priest $100.  With DS we didn't not give money to the priest.  However, the priest is my uncle so we gave him a more personal gift rather than money.  If he was not a relative we would have given money for both.
