5 Christmas Gift Ideas For Your Priest
Is your parish priest on your Christmas list this year? He should be! A small gesture will show your priest just how thankful you are for his work and ministry. During this season, the prayers and support of the laity are greatly needed.
5 Christmas Gift Ideas For Your Priest
- Baked goods, handmade items, or your time - Gone are the days when priests had the luxury of someone available to cook and clean for them. In most parishes, these responsibilities are now left to the priest. Your gift of time to help with housework, cooking, or other types of service may be greatly needed and appreciated.
- Gift cards or tickets to events - Just like the rest of us, priests need to take the time to enjoy concerts, sporting events, and other leisurely activities. Find out what your priest likes to do in his spare time and treat him.
- A spiritual rosary bouquet, a Mass offered for his intentions, or another form of prayer - Of course, this is the best gift we can give to anyone this Christmas, but especially our priests.
- A spiritual book or movie - Is there a resource that you have found very helpful in your own spiritual life that you could share with your parish priest? He may find this useful when ministering to others.
- A parish event - Your priest is likely stretched trying to meet the many needs of your parish. Help him out by planning and facilitating an event that enriches your faith community.
