LPi • June 1, 2023

Does your church sell or provide t-shirts or other swag for your parishioners? Make it your goal this season to offer some fun t-shirt designs to your members. There’s nothing like seeing another parishioner wearing your church’s shirt when you are out and about at the farmer’s market or gym! Custom church t-shirts are a creative way to connect parishioners to each other outside of your sanctuary walls as well as to spread the word about your parish to the greater community.

A note on printing — before you order t-shirts online from a big national or global company, check with your bulletin editor to see if there is a printing company already partnering with your parish. You may have a local printing business that is already running an ad in the parish bulletin or who your church has used to print ministry t-shirts in the past. Consider getting a quote for your project from them first. You can find out what companies support your parish and other local parishes with our free Parishes Online supporters directory.

T-Shirt Ideas that Include Your Church in the Text
These are ideas that incorporate your church’s name into the text on the t-shirt. You can print the text on the front or the back and add any images you like to enhance the design.

1. Ask me about youth ministry (or whatever ministry you are involved in) at St. John!

2. I <3 St. John Parish

3. I’m a proud volunteer at St. John’s

4. St. John’s lifer!

5. Proudly part of the community of St. John Parish

6. Have you been to St. John’s?

7. Prayer warrior at St. John’s

8. Now you know someone at St. John!

9. I’m GRATEFUL for St. John parish!

Just Add Your Church Logo
You can put your parish’s logo on the front of the shirt and then put the sayings below on the back — or vice versa! Don’t have an awesome looking church logo design? We can help you design one or simply refresh the logo you already have to make it look more modern and professional. Having a great looking logo will increase the number of parishioners who want to wear your church t-shirts!

10. Need prayer? Just ask!

11. Everyone is welcome here.

12. Serving Covington (your community’s name) since 1952(founding date)

13. Rated best parish picnic in town since 1952 (founding date)

14. Join the fun!

15. A place for everyone.

16. Skip rope, not church.

17. He is risen!

18. This is my church t-shirt.

19. I’m just out here trusting God.

20. Faith Hope & Love

21. Peace be with you.

22. Jesus loves you!

23. You are enough.

24. Straight Outta’ Church!

25. Can I get an AMEN?

26. You know, I’m all about that GRACE.

27. Forgiven

28. Saved by Grace

29. With God all things are possible.

30. Make an impact!

31. Stronger together

If you end up using one of these ideas, we’d love to see how the shirt turned out! Tag us in a photo of your community members, staff, or pastor sporting your new parish t-shirt so we can celebrate the great work you are doing along with you.

Some Say

By Colleen Jurkiewicz Dorman • June 26, 2025

At first, the Apostles try to dodge the question. When Jesus confronts them — and make no mistake, it is a confrontation — with the question “Who do you say that I am?” they act like a man whose wife has just asked him if she looks fat in these jeans. The evasiveness of their answer puts politicians to shame: “Some say John the Baptist, others Elijah, still others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” Some say. But Jesus doesn’t let them off easy. He repeats himself. He wants an answer. “Who do you say that I am?” They all know the answer. They all believe the answer. And they all know the answer could get them thrown in prison or killed. Only Peter is brave enough to say it: “You are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” People have a lot of opinions about God. They always have. They have a lot of opinions about Jesus and the Bible, about the Catholic Church and the Pope. Some of these opinions are well-founded, well-researched. Some of them are based in ignorance. Many are born of painful misunderstandings. But they are all just that: opinions. Some say. We know who Jesus is. We know who the Eucharist is. We know what the truth is. Amid the chaos and the violence and the excruciating loudness of this fallen world and all the words it shouts into the void about God and Jesus and right and wrong, we know . But will we answer? ©LPi
