LOOKING
FOR
A
WAY
TO
CELEBRATE
PRIESTHOOD
SUNDAY?
Sometimes
priests
are
not
comfortable
with
calling
attention
to
themselves
even
though
October
28th
is
not
to
call
attention
to
themselves
but
to
call
attention
to
the
Priesthood.
(This
is
more
apt
to
happen
when
there
is a
lone
priest
in
the
parish
than
when
there
are
two
or
more
priests
who
would
share
the
celebration.)
If
that’s
the
case,
permission
is
not
always
granted
to
put
up
the
“Priesthood
Sunday”
posters
or
insert
bulletin
announcements.
It’s
then
we
have
to
use
a
little
ingenuity
to
say
thanks
and
let
our
priests
know
we
are
praying
for
them
and
sincerely
appreciate
them.
How
we
did
it.
Last
year
a
prayer
was
composed
for
one
side
of a
“bookmark”
sized
card
and
the
other
side
listed
all
the
pastors,
assistants
and
deacons
to
remember
in
prayer.
These
cards
were
placed
in
the
pews,
in
the
Adoration
Chapels
and
in
the
church
pamphlet
racks.
Individuals
were
also
invited
to
send
personal
greeting
cards.
It
worked
out
well.
Extra
cards
remained
in
the
Chapels
and
pamphlet
racks
all
year.
This
year,
using
the
same
idea
but
with
a
different
color,
we’ve
chosen
to
use
a
quotation
from
St.
John
Vianney
on
one
side
and
repeat
the
priests
who’ve
served
the
parish
on
the
other.
Of
course,
the
Serra
logo
is
prominently
displayed
on
both
sides
of
the
card.
The
format
is
simple.
It’s
just
a
81/2
X 11
sheet
printed
on
the
horizontal
using
four
columns
and
then
printing
on a
substantial
weight
of
paper
to
provide
“bookmark”
quality
cards.
Printed
on
both
sides,
your
print
shop
will
be
happy
to
cut
them
into
bookmarks
for
you.

Received on 9/21/04 from Sr. Margaret Mary from Blessed Sacrament Parish in Springfield, IL: Thank you for the poster - I sure wish we had three! (One for each bulletin board in the church.) The poster arrived yesterday. It is really nice - thank you! |
