The Parish Staff Wishes All Dads A Blessed And Happy Father’s Day! Our Father’s Day Novena begins this Sunday, June 17th and continues through Monday, June 25th. If you would like to enroll your father, living or deceased, envelopes and cards are available by the doors of the Church. Please return the large envelope either to the Church Office or place it in the Sunday collection basket. Names of those enrolled will be placed on the altar during this Novena.
HOW GOD CREATED FATHERS
GOD took
the STRENGTH of a mountain,
the NOBILITY of a tree,
the GENEROUS soul of nature,
the COMFORTING arm of night,
the WISDOM of the ages,
the JOY of a fresh morning,
the FAITH of a mustard seed,
the PATIENCE of eternity,
and added ENDURING LOVE
to create FATHERS.
“Stand, now, Joseph,
as guide for fathers everywhere,
as inspiration for each of us
who look to you for blessing.
Teach us the way of fidelity and unconditional love.”
– Sr. Mary Catherine Walton, SSJ
