Joyful Faith: Lighthearted Catholic Shirts

Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit, and a glad heart has always been part of the Catholic life. These designs celebrate that joy with gentle wordplay that points back to God: a smile at the coffee hour after Mass, a nod to the choir loft, a cheerful word for the season.

You'll find Deer Lord for the hunter, Fore-Given for the golfer, Holy Grounds and Let There Be Latte for the coffee lover, Fleece Navidad and Myrrh-y Christmas for Christmas, and seasonal favorites like the Vampire Repellent Kit. Each one is painted in a vintage style, so the faith stays at the center and the wordplay stays kind.

They make easy gifts for a parish friend, a choir member, a Catholic dad or a godparent who shares the joy of the faith. Most of the newer designs come on Comfort Colors garment-dyed tees in lots of colors, and the older ones on Bella+Canvas tees. Tap any shirt to see it on Etsy.
