Happy Father's Day

Dear Parishioners,

This weekend we celebrate Father’s Day. It is a special day to recognize our fathers and father figures for all the good they have done for us and the sacrifices they made for us.

Sometimes we take the special people in our lives for granted. Special days like birthdays, holidays, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are moments of grace for us if we allow them to be. We are given the opportunity to reflect on how lucky and blessed we are to have such good and loving people in our lives.

Be sure this Father’s Day to recognize your fathers and father figures, living and deceased. Thank God for them and for all they have done to make your life better by their love and sacrifices. Recognize and reward them for being good fathers. May all fathers and father figures know the love and respect of all of us, their children.

Thanks Dads! Happy Father’s Day! May God be with you always and bless and reward you for your goodness, example and love.

God bless us all!
Fr. Citino

 

God our Father,
in your wisdom and love, you made all things.
Bless these men,
that they may be strengthened as Christian fathers.
Let the example of their faith and love shine forth.
Grant that we, their sons and daughters,
may honor them always.

Grant this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
