St. Matthew's Syriac Orthodox Church · Boston

Request a service

Baptisms, weddings, memorials and hall rentals can be arranged here. Funerals are arranged by telephone, as they always have been.

Our fees

Each offering listed below is inclusive of the priest's fee, and no separate arrangement with the priest is required. This ensures a consistent and equitable approach for every family, and your generosity to the parish is always received with gratitude. Parishioners current on their stewardship pay the member rate; everyone else pays the standard rate. If you are not current, you may pay the standard rate or bring your stewardship up to date and pay the member rate.

Service Current on dues Not current
Baptism$500$1,000
Wedding$1,000$2,000
Memorial$250$500
Funeral$500$1,000

A reception in the parish hall may be added to a baptism or wedding; the office confirms your hall rate and sends one total for the day. The hall on its own is priced separately — see the card below. Stewardship is $250 for an individual and $550 for a family.

Memorial service

Requested against an upcoming Divine Liturgy. Nothing to reserve, so nothing to wait for.

$250 current · $500 otherwise

Baptism

Choose a date and reserve it. The office confirms your rate before you pay; a hall reception can be added.

Wedding

Please speak with the priest first. This form reserves the date once that conversation has happened.

$1,000–$2,000 · Hall optional

Funeral

Please telephone the parish office on (617) 488-9991. Funerals are arranged by a person, and never depend on a payment being made first.
