World Priest Day – Oct. 27

World Priest Day is a celebration and affirmation of the men who commit their lives to Our Lord and Our Church through the Sacrament in Priesthood. It is an opportunity for Catholic parishioners to thank, affirm, and share their love and support for our faithful and dedicated priests.

Priests are a significant part of our lives! You can celebrate and thank your priest in a variety of ways. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

• Invite them to your home for a good home-cooked meal.

• Send a handwritten note sharing how much they and their ministry mean to you.

• Pray a novena or pray for 24 hours for all priests and their priesthood.

• Give a gift card such as a gas card to aid in their travel during their ministry.
