The prayer below is for all fathers, living and deceased, and is especially appropriate to pray, as a family, in the days leading up to Father's Day. As a gift to your father, you may also want to enroll him in the prayers and Masses of Priests for Life. If your father is deceased, you may want to also have us remember him in a special way in our Father's Day masses. In a culture of life, strong fathers are essential and are an antidote to the fear and isolation that tempt so many mothers to abort. Let us pray this prayer, then, begging the Lord for an end to the culture of death, and thanking him for the gift of fatherhood. We also invite you to take part in our "Turning the Hearts of Fathers" campaign this June.
