Happy Father’s Day
“Honor your father and your mother, that you may have a long life in the land which the Lord, your God, is giving you.” (Exodus 20,12)
“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up with the training and instruction of the Lord.” (Ephesians 6,4)
 Today we honor our fathers and recognize the contribution that fathers make to the lives of their children. We salute all the wonderful fathers who have made the difference the lives of many in the family. We appreciate your existence and the impactful and significant role you have played in our lives.

Father is a person who Let’s you experiment life in your own way and pulls you up when you fall. Let’s you get angry on him and loves you more after that. Is with you always, especially when you need him!  They have always been the one reliable man in our lives, and they have always treated us with a stern yet loving hand. We will never cease to follow their footsteps and will always make the right decision like they have taught us. No matter how famous or successful we are, but our first identity is that of someone’s son or daughter. Thank you for being great fathers.
A day to remember our Heavenly Father.
Father’s Day is a day to remember, acknowledge and appreciate the “World’s Greatest Dad,” OUR HEAVENLY FATHER (Rom. 8:15, Gal. 4:6) Who is our spiritual Daddy, actively involved in all areas of our lives.  It is He on Whom we lean in times of pain and hurt; it is He on Whom we call in times of need.  Many of us pray the “Our Father” day after day, without paying attention to, or experiencing, the love and providence of our Heavenly Father.  Let us pray the Our Father during this Holy Mass, realizing the meaning of each clause and experiencing the love of our Heavenly Father for us.

May all earthly fathers draw strength from their Heavenly Father!  On this Father’s Day, please don’t forget to pray for
us, your spiritual Fathers, men who are called to be Fathers of a large parish family through the Sacrament of Holy Orders.
We congratulate and pray for all the father’s parishioners collaborators of St. Eugene Catholic Mission and Student
Center. God Bless You All.
