Clergy Appreciation Day falls on the second Sunday of October during Clergy Appreciation Month. This event began as Pastor Appreciation Day, founded by Jerry Frear of Under His Wings. It later became Clergy Appreciation Month, a month open to faith leaders (Rabbis, Monks, Imams, Priests) of all faiths.
Frear started the original Pastor Appreciation Day based upon a survey he and his staff conducted in 1992 that found that many of the clergy were unhappy in their jobs. The day focuses on celebrating everything faith leaders do to minister to their flocks and support the local community. Over a few years, it became clear that an entire month was needed and that clergy of other faiths should also be recognized.
The focus on appreciating clergy seems to be working. When asked today, most faith leaders are devoted to their work and have a strong desire to work with their communities. Clergy Appreciation Month is about saying thank you to the shepherds of faith and learning more about what they do daily.
