Blessings for Our Fathers
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Sunday, June 19, 2011
Blessings today to to every man who labors and loves, protects and provides:
Prayer for Fathers
St. Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste husband of Mary, you passed your life in loving fulfillment of duty. You supported the holy family of Nazareth with the work of your hands. Kindly protect those who trustingly come to you. You know their aspirations, their hardships, their hopes. They look to you because they know you will understand and protect them. You too knew trial, labor and weariness. But amid the worries of material life your soul was full of deep peace and sang out in true joy through intimacy with God’s Son entrusted to you and with Mary, his tender Mother. Assure those you protect that they do not labor alone. Teach them to find Jesus near them and to watch over him faithfully as you have done.
—Pope John XXIII
What to Do For Dad?
Posted by Danielle Bean in Family on Wednesday, June 15, 2011
This Sunday (June 19) is Father’s Day. Do you have plans yet?
In our house, a couple of the younger girls will be away for the weekend, so I am hoping to pull together an early celebration while we are still all home.
After a month of birthdays and Confirmation, I am feeling a little partied out, though, and was hoping some of you could inspire me.
Do you have a creative idea for a Father’s Day gift for your husband or father this year? What kind of plans are you making for family celebrations?

Better Than a Necktie

In working out the details for our Father’s Day celebration this year, I have been having fun perusing craft ideas for kids.
There are tons at Family Fun, of course. My favorite is the Duct Tape wallet.
We made this craft a few years ago, so I can tell you it actually works. Using only duct tape (and what Dad doesn’t love duct tape?) you can make a nifty little wallet. You can then fill it with photos,... READ MORE
Daddy's Favorite
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Monday, June 22, 2009
I hope since we’re still within the octave of Father’s Day, you’ll permit me a tardy entry into this week’s wonderful posts featuring the fathers of our Faith & Family blogging team. My entry is postponed because I was pondering the best way to share with you how absolutely crazy I am about my Daddy. When Sunday came and went without me finding the words to capture my emotions, I decided to simply... READ MORE
Happy Father's Day
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Just me on Sunday, June 21, 2009
When you’re fortunate enough to have your parents live close by, one of life’s little pleasures is watching the relationships they develop with your own kids.
Sometimes, observing the delight my dad takes in his grandkids (and theirs in him), I feel I must be getting a glimpse of my own childhood through my father’s eyes—that is, I can see by his reactions to my kids how he no doubt reacted to me... READ MORE

From a Father of Six

Rachel had an idea to have us each interview our fathers in honor of Father’s Day.
So I sent my dad some questions, and asked him to take a few minutes and answer them briefly so that I could post the answers here.
Well, if you’ve been reading Faith & Family for a while, you may have noticed I tend to go on a bit. I come by it honestly! My dad sent me answers to my questions that could have served... READ MORE
