Father’s Day

“See what love the Father has bestowed on us that we may be called the children of God. Yet so we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we shall be has not yet been revealed. We do know that when it is revealed we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is.”

I John 3: 1-2



“God's very being is love. By sending his only Son and the Spirit of Love in the fullness of time, God has revealed his innermost secret: God himself is an eternal exchange of love, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and he has destined us to share in that exchange.”

Catechism of the Catholic Church, 221



We thank our fathers and grandfathers, uncles and godfathers, brothers and friends, and all of the spiritual fathers who have cared for us, guided us, and taught us to know, love and serve our heavenly Father.
