Happy Father's Day!

O Eternal and Almighty God, the Heavenly Father of all mankind: we pray to You on this festive day for all of our fathers: Bless and protect all the Fathers of our Parish who have given us life and love. Strengthen them as Christian Fathers in their faith and love! Grant that we, their sons and daughters may honor them always with a spirit of profound respect!

Fun in Sunday School

A Sunday school teacher was explaining how God created Eve out of Adam's rib. Suddenly, a student who enjoyed showing off started groaning and grabbing his side.

When the teacher asked what the boy's problem was, he said with a smile, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

A father's influence

Studies show that if the mother of a family attends worship, there's a 16 percent chance that the rest of the family will also attend.

Yet when a father attends worship, there's a 93 percent chance that other family members will be present, too.

Just think, Dad, of all the clout you have. Hope to see you in church always!

A child's letter to God:

"Dear God, I want to be just like my Daddy when I get big, but with hair on my head."

- Jimmy, 6

A life without love is like a year without summer.

- Swedish Proverb.
