Happy Father’s Day to all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures in our John Therry Catholic College community! 💙

Today, we honor your strength, dedication, and the guidance you give our young men and women every day. From early morning drop-offs and sidelines cheers to passing down life lessons and leading by example, your presence shapes the heart of our families and school community.

A Prayer for Our Fathers

"May God give you wisdom to lead, strength to support, and joy in seeing your children grow in faith and love."

Wishing all our JTCC fathers a fantastic day filled with rest, celebration, and quality time with loved ones.

Father’s Day is a wonderful opportunity for us to all reflect upon the importance of fatherhood, which we see very much in Jesus’ own life, both in His prayers to His heavenly Father and the example He received on earth through the nurturing love of St Joseph.

Our Lord regularly called upon His heavenly Father for assistance or praised Him. When He was exhausted He would go off to a lonely place to talk with Him.

When facing the horror of crucifixion, He begged His Abba to intervene. Jesus knew that all things were possible for His Father, that He was in his Father’s hands, and that He could trust all would turn out for the best.

Human paternity, then, at its best, images that of God our Father. It also take inspiration from the role model of St Joseph in his unfailing care and protection for Jesus and His Mother Mary. God bless our fathers and all who share in their paternal care of our world. Happy Father’s Day!
