We will be praying for the intentions of all living and deceased fathers in our lives: our fathers and grandfathers, our husbands, the fathers of our children, fathers-to-be and men who desire to be fathers, men who serve in a fatherly role in our lives, and for our priests who are our spiritual fathers. Please join us and spend a short time praying with us in thanksgiving, love, and honor for all the fathers in our lives.
