Gift Ideas for your priests! These ideas,  from this article, can definitely be adapted to affirm religious brothers or sisters that you have at your parish or nearby.

• 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.  If you have not already done so, ask your priest to fill out the  “Get to Know your Priest” questionnaire so that you know his favorite candy, sports team, and so much more!
• A New Phone Case!  See almost 20 stunning options for various iPhone and android phone sizes!
• 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.  Download it here and get as many parishioners to fill them out, especially the lined back with a special story of the way their priest has impacted their lives!
• A spiritual book or movie:  In Sinu Jesu: When Heart Speaks to Heart -- The Journal of a Priest at Prayer. I have given it to several priests who give it raving reviews!!!   Buy it on Amazon.  Dear Father: A Message of Love for Priests  by Catherine De Hueck Doherty.  Buy it on Amazon. 
• 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, especially for vocations!
