Happy Father’s Day to Fathers, Grandfathers, Foster-Fathers, Stepfathers and Spiritual Fathers! Today we celebrate, congratulate, and pray for you who continue to reflect the Divine qualities of fatherhood as you lovingly establish, nourish, and maintain your families. Fathers, thank you the many sacrifices you make for us day after day. You are a blessing, and we thank you for blessing us with lives of dedication, endurance, and love. We pray specially for Fathers who struggle to overcome temptation and conflict. May you strive each day to be for us a model of goodness, holiness, faith, trust in God, and fidelity to the teachings of the Church. Please know that masses this weekend will be offered for you and for all Fathers who have departed this world.
