Happy Father’s Day!
Today, we give thanks to God for all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, spiritual fathers, and father figures who lead their families with faith, sacrifice, and love.
As Catholics, we look to St. Joseph—the faithful guardian of the Holy Family—as the model of fatherhood. Through his quiet strength, unwavering trust in God, and selfless devotion to Mary and Jesus, St. Joseph teaches us what it means to be a loving and courageous father.
We also express our gratitude for our spiritual father, Bishop Kevin Vann, whose leadership, prayers, and pastoral care continue to guide the faithful of the Diocese of Orange. May God bless him abundantly as he shepherds our Catholic community with wisdom and compassion.
Let us pray today for all fathers, living and deceased, that they may be strengthened by God’s grace and inspired by the example of St. Joseph.
“St. Joseph, patron of fathers, pray for us.”
