Fathers Day Novena 2021 During the Novena of masses for Fathers beginning on Fathers Day we remember in prayer our living and deceased Fathers .
We pray for the particular needs of our living Fathers and the eternal repose of those who are deceased. Fittingly, we also pray for those men in our lives who, while not physical fathers, have fathered us spiritually or emotionally. The following names have been
submitted to us for remembrance. Additional names will be listed next week.

St. Stephen School...Changing the way our children learn
In a Focus on the Family article, “Being a Man in the Pro-Life Movement,” writer and preacher Jess Ford issues a call to action to all men: “The most imperative thing that men can do for the pro-life movement is to raise their families to love God with their hearts. Serve the Lord. Understand the abundant life that Jesus promises us in John 10:10: „The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.‟ Understand that God is so loving that he places a vast amount of care and at-tention on the creation of each person‟s body and soul. God profoundly and mysteriously loves each person. Men, you have an opportunity to display the love of our Heavenly Father to the next generation, every day. If the next generation learns to love the Father, they will also learn that abortion breaks the Father‟s heart.” “Men, you have a place in the Pro-Life movement. Go serve the single and pregnant women of your local church, throw baby showers for young pregnant women. Be a voice that speaks hope, light, and life into the hearts of those overcome with fear. It is time to get skin in the game. This is an issue of life or death, and your voice matters.”
Respect Life Committee meets every 3rd Wednesday of the
month at 7pm in the Hospitality Room. For more information call Mark or
Kathy at 773-5726.
