Policies - St. Andrew’s Anglican Church,
York
To
be considered a “Full Member” of the
St. Andrew’s congregation, each member must have paid a minimum of $100 in the
previous calendar year. This minimum assures
that the charges for the use of the church will be wavered. Those who have contributed less than $100 in
the previous calendar year will be considered “Associate Members”. Those
who have made no financial contribution to the parish in the previous calendar
year will be considered “Non Members”.
Note: Membership includes the head of the
household and spouse. Youth are
automatically members, if they are of school age or younger, and are supported
by parents who are members. However as
the youth finish school and become self-supporting citizens, they are invited
to request church envelopes and begin their financial support if they wish to
continue to retain membership.
The
following rates have been set for the use of St. Andrew's Church for “Associate Members”, for “Non Members” and for “others” living outside the
parish. These rates apply to uses such
as Baptisms (held at times other than during the normal church service),
Weddings and Funerals.
For the use of the church for one
day, for the months November through May,
the charge will be as follows: $180 for the first day and $100 for each
additional day. For the months June
through October, the charge will be $100 for the first day and $50 for each
additional day.
At all such events the Sexton's fee is $40 and the
organist fee is $30 for supporting members of the Church and non-members alike.
Arrangements for the funeral
service are to be made between the family and the attending clergy. It is customary to give the attending priest
a monetary donation for weddings and funerals. This is considered a
thanksgiving offering. If you wish to
know what is customary in this congregation please contact the Wardens.
