Prayer for Father’s Day

God our Father, We give you thanks and praise for fathers young and old. We pray

for young fathers; newly embracing their vocation; May they find courage and

perseverance to balance faith, family, and work in joy and sacrifice. We pray for

Fathers around the world whose children are lost or suffering; May they know

that the God of compassion walks with them in their sorrow. We pray for men

who are not fathers but still mentor and guide us with fatherly love and advice.

We remember father, grandfathers, and great grandfathers who are no longer

with us but who live forever in our memory and nourish us with their love. Amen.

“Just as St. Joseph, you

too must be guardians

in age, wisdom and

grace.” - Pope Francis

Thank you!

Thank you for all the Birthday cards and notes that folks

had sent to me! - Father Dale

Thank you!

Our Mother loved God, her family, and her Catholic

Church family and friends. We would like to thank eve-

ryone who came to her Memorial calling and Mass, and

those who were involved in making her Mass so beauti-

ful. Thank you for the wonderful luncheon. Thank you

for the prayers, generosity, kindness, and memorial

contributions.

Letter from Most Reverend Kevin C. Rhoades:

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Next Weekend, June 23 and 24, the Peter’s Pence Collection will

be taken up at all Masses in our diocese. This annual collection has

ancient roots, dating from the time of the Apostles when Chris-

tians would provide material support to those preaching the Gos-

pel to distribute to those in need. Today, your generosity will help

Pope Francis ease the suffering of some of our most marginalized

brothers and sister throughout the world and show them the ten-

der love of God. As Pope Francis challenged us a few years ago,

“Let us not fall into indifference, but become instruments of God’s

mercy. All of us can be instruments of God’s mercy” (General Au-

dience, Nov. 9, 2016). The funds raised in this collection help the

Holy Father respond to victims of war, persecution and natural

disasters throughout the world. For example, with the support of

this collection, a funding network has been created to respond to

the needs of Immaculate Conception Parish School in Jordan,

which is located about 12 miles from the border with Syria. The

parish assists more than 800 children, many of whom are refugees

from the war in Syria. With help from university students in the

parish who teach math, Arabic, and English, hundreds of children

not in the school system are learning to read and write. Please

give generously to the Peter’s Pence Collection, and help Pope

Francis to continue to be an instrument of God’s mercy through-

out the world.

Sincerely yours in Christ,

Most Reverend Kevin C. Rhoades

Bishop of Fort Wayne—South Bend

A Prayer for Our Priests

Lord Jesus, we your people pray to You for our priests. You have giv-

en them to us for our needs. We pray for them in their needs...Let

them see You face to face in the breaking of the Eucharistic Bread.

Amen—St. John Vianney, Patron Saint of Priests...Pray for us!
