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

Make a family video message/song of affirmation for him
Create a sidewalk message in front of the church/rectory
