Celebrate the loving dads and father figures in your life. Whether they are living or deceased, you can offer the loving gift of prayer by 

sending the names of your loved ones for remembrance.

I invite you to join fellow AMM members in praying this prayer on Father’s Day: 

We will celebrate Father’s Day on Sunday, June 16.We think of the strength of a father, his guiding hand, his wisdom, his help, and most importantly his love. God the Father gave us his only Son, Jesus Christ, so that we might be saved through him. Join us in praying for dads, granddads, godfathers, step-fathers, foster fathers, and all men shouldering the awesome responsibility of fatherhood. Send me the names of your father figures, along with your special prayer intentions to be included in our Mass on Father’s Day here at our Lady’s National Shrine on June 16. As a sign of your prayerful devotion, you can also burn a Votive Light in their honor or memory. Your loved ones and intentions will also be remembered throughout the month of June. And don't forget to request our new Father's Day card to share with the Fathers in your life!
