He's not taking into account that not everyone is capable of all this due to their duties of state.  I would love to help out more at our church, but simply cannot at this point in my life.  I've known other SSPX priests who also "burned out" their parishioners with excessive activity.  Help inspire them to sanctify themselves, and everything else may (or may not) follow, but the key mission of this priest is to save souls, and sanctify them, not to run a business venture.
And as the place breaks down and completely deteriorates due to the majority who would love to help out more but simply cannot at this point in their life?

No, we are duty bound to put money in the basket crisis or not, and help out cleaning/funding/etc., due to the crisis. For those who are too inconvenienced, then they are to hire and pay for cleaning crew, lawn care, janitors and etc., it's either that, or get off your lazy butts and get in there and do what needs to be done - when you can. But do not dis the priest, you are the ones forcing him to ask for that which he would never ask for if the parishioners did their duty. As it is, they only show their ingratitude for what they have.

You're a sactimonious, self-righteous hypocrite, the kind Jesus condemned regularly.  I'm sure there are some who could do more to help, while others cannot.  For this size of chapel, there's an excessive amount of activity.  I'm not talking about the required basics, such as cleaning & maintenance, etc.  But the retreats, pilgrimages, and booths.  Not everyone can do all that, especially with such few people at that chapel.  You're not the aforementioned pastor, are you?

And you'll be without a chapel, then you won't have to listen the priest ask for a thing ever again, apparently, that's what you want.

The thing you really need to do, if it is not too inconvenient for you, and by all means be sure this does not inconvenience you too terribly bad, is come up with a way for them to support the physical and monetary needs of the chapel, without the beneficiaries doing anything, or inconveniencing them too much. Until then, about all you can do is continue whining about the priest asking the beneficiaries to do their duty.

You are ungrateful. It is because the ungrateful and lazy congregation full of do-nothings that forces the priest to ask in the first place.

It's like this: nobody, or not enough people clean, maintains the chapel, or basically even takes care of the most basic of necessities, so that when the priest is forced to ask for help, you throw a tizzy. This behavior is only too typical of ungrateful people. You must be a democrat.
 
For the record I am the OP and I will now make my second posting in reply to the above quote. 
That posting is the kind of vitriol that I am talking about. No one will want to help anyone that considers people garbage like that posting reveals.

Yep, ungrateful.

You don't like hearing him ask for that which the people should readily have supplied without being asked. This leaves you with the following choices: 1) leave 2) start helping clean the place and raise funds 3) do nothing but whine and blame the priest because you need to be asked to do your part.

Truth to you is vitriol, same as the priest asking you to do your part. :facepalm:
