Honor Fathers’ Legacy

This Father’s Day offers a sacred moment to reflect on the men who have profoundly shaped our lives—our fathers, grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and all those who have played a paternal role. These men have been pillars of strength, wisdom, and unconditional love, leaving an everlasting impact on our hearts.

For many, this Father’s Day may bring a sense of bittersweet longing. It may be the first time we face this day without their presence. The absence of their laughter or the empty seat where they once sat serves as a reminder of how deeply they are missed. Yet, in our sorrow, there lies a beautiful opportunity to honor their memory and carry forward their enduring legacy.

Ways to Honor and Remember:

On Father’s Day, Sunday, June 15, 2025, we will gather to celebrate the lives of these cherished men. Masses will be held at the Lourdes Grotto in San Antonio, TX, and the Shrine of Our Lady of the Snows in Belleville, IL. Together, we will lift their names in prayer and thanksgiving.

The Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate invite you to join in celebrating and cherishing these remarkable men. Through acts of devotion and generosity, we can honor their love and faith, ensuring their spirit continues to inspire and bless others. Your donations not only commemorate these exceptional figures but also support the vital mission of the Missionary Oblates. Your generosity empowers all to bring hope, compassion, and the love of Christ to those most in need.
