Our priests are being called into great heroic action, all while pouring out an overabundant amount of love and support for all of us. It’s a great time to share support, encouragement and love for our priests. As a gesture of gratitude, the Houston-based Vocation Ministry launches its annual “Uplift Your Priest” campaign on the Monday after the 2nd Sunday of Easter. We are excited to support these national campaigns.

Here’s some easy ideas about what you can do to uplift your priest!

Daily Deed Ideas:

• Call/text/email your priest
• Send spiritual bouquets to him
• Drop off popcorn and snacks for movie night
• Send him drawings or paintings by children
• Pray, fast, and offer sacrifices for him
• Send him a Gift Card from Amazon or a restaurant
• Make a family video message/song of affirmation for him
• Create a sidewalk message in front of the church/rectory
• Post a picture of your family with your priest
• Drop off or have dinner/lunch delivered
• Send financial support to the parish, if able
• Hold a “Parade of Love” for him
• Challenge and tag 3 families/individuals to pray a Rosary for him on social media
