Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all of our fathers this weekend, and to those who have gone before us in life and death. Our prayers and gratitude are your's on this Sunday of honor and remembrance. We pray for and thank you for the wisdom, the patience, and the courage that you bear, to discern the presence of God in the face of life's many anxieties and storms. Your honesty and strength keep us rooted and steady on our way, and help to illuminate the path before us. Please keep close to our loving Christ, who is the Light, and may you know our love and many blessings this weekend.

God bless,

Msgr. Lloyd Torgerson
