Father's Day

Today we give thanks for fathers and father figures. For their love, guidance, strength, and quiet dedication.

Through everyday acts of care and sacrifice, fathers reflect God’s steadfast love and protective presence in our lives.

Father’s Day is an opportunity to recognise those who nurture, support, and encourage, often without recognition, and to remember the lasting impact they have on families and communities.

We also hold in prayer fathers who carry heavy burdens, those who are absent or grieving, and those who lovingly step into the role of fatherhood in many different ways.

May God bless all fathers with wisdom, patience, and peace, and may they know how deeply they are loved and appreciated.
