Lentorama 2021: Take Your Holiday to Go

Day 35: Sea Sunday

Held on the second Sunday in July, Sea Sunday is observed by a number of Christian churches as a day to pray for people who work on the water and their families. It's a popular day for organizations with a maritime focus to raise money for their works. 

In Catholic churches there is usually a second collection on this day to support the Apostleship of the Sea, which does things like provide priests for ships and run ministries in port cities. This page talks about the US branch of the Apostleship. The overall association of these branches is known as Stella Maris, and the patron saint of the organization (and also the namesake of my parish) is the Virgin Mary as Our Lady, Star of the Sea.
