Encouraging the Culture of Encounter with Jesus Christ, His Church, and All People Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Happy Father’s Day! A child’s dad is the person who images God the Father to his sons and daughters. When our dads fulfill their role as loving protector, guardian of the family, self-sacrificing provider, and spiritual head of the family then they image God the Father to their children. While only our Heavenly Father is perfect, He has seen fit to gives us earthly fathers, who even if not perfect, have great potential to convey God’s grace. May we honor our fathers today and thank them for their sacrificial love and example. In this month when we celebrate the Sacred Heart of Jesus, we pray for our fathers to grow in their relationship with Christ and to love as He loves with a Father’s heart.

In the beginning of May, Tessa Zellefrow , celebrated her First Holy Communion. May the blessings of Christ be upon you always!
