Show Our Priests Some Christmas Love
Christmas is almost here, and while we’re all swept up in the joy and busyness of the season, our priests are working harder than ever. Advent and Christmas are two of their busiest times—more Masses, more confessions, more visits, more everything—yet they continue to pour out love, patience, and grace without missing a beat.
Simple, Heartfelt Ways to Say “Thank You”
Send a quick email or text expressing your gratitude
Drop off popcorn, candy, or a favorite snack for their occasional downtime
Have the kids draw or paint a picture for them
Offer a prayer, a fast, or your sufferings for their strength and joy
Give a gift card (restaurant, gas, bookstore, etc.)
Print a family photo with the priest and give him a framed copy
Small gestures mean a lot—and together, they’ll add up to something beautiful.
Cards and gifts may be dropped off at your parish office. You may write to a specific priest or simply to “our priests,” and Fr. Tony will make sure everything is shared among them.
