Day for Fathers

8:57 AM | Posted by |
A beautiful Mass was celebrated in honor of our fathers. We certainly appreciate all that our dads do for us and it is fitting to say thank you dads! Father Matthew gave a wonderful homily, reminding us that we need to be "extra-terrestrial" and phone home to God at least three times each day.

Our fathers are in the trenches of the day-to-day providing for their families, protecting their families and loving their families. Father Mathew reminded the dads that it’s their job to get everyone in their family to heaven!

Following the spiritual combat presentation by Father Matthew, and some lovely refreshments, the dads had time in the classrooms with their children. Dads took part in interviews with Kindergarten. The riddles in Grades 1/2 kept them guessing. In Mrs. Fleck’s class the dads competed one-on-one with their children and found out if they are "smarter than a 3rd or 4th grader." In grade 5/6 and 7/8 everyone participated in great competitions testing both dads and students on the curriculum. Thank you dads for joining us. We had a super time with you!

We kept in our prayers --and offered our fun -- for those dads who could only be with us in spirit. Please know that you are welcome to come for a visit any day.
