Happy Father’s Day! We want to acknowledge all the fathers in our parish and circle who contribute so greatly to their children (and grandchildren!). The ways in which you care for your children are valuable and important, and they last beyond childhood. For a reflection on the importance of fathers in the lives of their kids, please read here and here.
