Father's Day

June16/17, 2018

ReflectionNarrativefathers day 2018“Honor your father and your mother...” Exodus 20:12

Today we honor our fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and adoptive fathers.

No matter who we are or what we have accomplished, we owe, at least in part, to our fathers.

For our fathers who gave us life and love, demanded our respect, and who taught us to respect ourselves, may we show them respect and love…

To our fathers who forgave us and let us come back home...

To our single fathers and grandfathers raising their grandchildren...

To our fathers who taught us about Jesus, women, and the devil...

To our fathers whose life lessons get us through each day, and whose example we still follow...

To our fathers who worked long hours in one or more jobs they hated so they could provide for us...

To our fathers who stood by us in the military, in college, in jail, in bad relationships, in debt and in trouble…

For fathers who have lost a child through death, that their faith may give them hope, and their family and friends support and console them.

We honor you.

To our fathers, now gone, whose legacies live on -- in us, through us, and for generations to come...

To our fathers whose memories make us laugh through our tears...

We remember you.

Loving God our Father, in your wisdom and love you made all things. Bless these men, that they may be strengthened as Catholic fathers. Let the example of their faith and love shine forth. Grant that we, their sons and daughters, may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect. Grant this through Christ our Lord, Amen.

  • Fr. English Center Collection: June 16/17, 2018

    Each year our Christian Service Committee organizes a toy collection for underprivileged children who attend the Father English summer program in
    Paterson.  Once again, we have decided to undertake this well-received program by holding another toy collection on June 16 & 17th.

    We are requesting NEW toys which can be used to entertain youngsters both indoor and outdoors. Suggested items include bubbles, balls, chalk, crayons, coloring books, puzzles, Frisbees, hula-hoops, along with any arts and crafts supplies. Your generosity in the past has been overwhelming, and we look forward to your participation once again.

    Please deposit your donation in the bin provided in the rear of the church on the designated weekend, June 16 – 17th. As always, your generosity is a true blessing for those less fortunate than ourselves.

  • LAST IN THIS SERIES!! Commentary (Instructional) Mass: June 17 @ 12Noon
    Next Sunday, June 17 at the 12 Noon Mass, Fr. Tom will provide reflections on each part of the Holy Mass as he celebrates it.
    This approach, sometimes called “instructional Mass,” has proven to be a valuable way for congregation members of all ages to deepen their knowledge and appreciation of the liturgy and the Holy Eucharist in that most Christian of ways—through the experience of praying what we believe!
