Gifts for the new priests?
Gift-giving Guide
The one thing all four of us want first and foremost, above anything else, is... YOU!
Your presence would truly be the best gift for us. Getting a gift for one of the ordinandi is not expected, and we understand the high price of travel these days. However, some family and friends have already asked us for gift suggestions, especially since few people buy for new priests. For those wanting to know, here are some suggestions:
Monetary gifts: We generally turn in most cash or checks given to us to the province.
Don’t worry, though, it will be put to good use! These gifts help us to
offset the expense of our formation and the ordination. Did you know it
costs over $250,000 each for us to get to this point? Any help would be
most appreciated!
Registry: Brs. James and Dismas are “registered” at a religious goods store.
It works much like a wedding registry, minus the waffle irons and blenders.
