Yes, the civilization of love is possible; it is not a utopia. But it is only possible by a constant and ready reference to the “Father from whom all fatherhood on earth is named” (cf. Eph 3:14-15), from whom every human family comes. – Bl John Paul II

To all fathers – we wish to express a very blessed and happy FATHER’S DAY!  Most especially we extend this greeting to our own beloved fathers – who have shown us in so many ways the beauty of authentic fatherhood, truly a share in the paternity of God…from left to right: Norman Campbell (Sr. Marie Andre and Sr. Marie St. Paul’s Dad), Charles Beach (Sr. Mary Fidelis’ Dad), Matt Schafer (Sr. John-Mark Maria’s Dad) and Paul Smith (Sr. Tara’s Dad)

And we extend our Father’s Day greetings as well to all spiritual fathers, to our Priests – especially to our Bishop and all the Priests who so generously care for our Sacramental needs and exercise their spiritual paternity to our community.  To all of you, we extend our most sincere gratitude!

“There is but one fatherhood, that of God the Father, the one Creator of the world, “of all that is seen and unseen”. Yet man, created in the image of God, has been granted a share in this one paternity of God (cf. Eph 3:15).” – Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
