Well, in medieval times, priests often received payment in the form of tithes, which were a portion of the crops or goods produced by the people in their parish. This was a way for the community to support the church and its clergy. Additionally, some priests received income from land or property owned by the church. It was all about the community coming together to ensure the spiritual well-being of everyone.

They didn't get paid. Poverty was considered to be virtue and the part of the service to man and God.
