father's Day Novena
To honor all fathers, grandfathers, godfathers and the other special men in our lives, we are offering a Novena of Nine Holy Masses that will begin on , Monday June 16, 2025.
Whether our fathers are living or deceased, this gift of prayer is a beautiful way to show our deep appreciation for their sacrificial love.
To have your father added to the list of those we pray for, please fill out the Father’s Day Novena form below. If you wish to have more than one person prayed for, please add their names in the space provided so that they too may be included in the Father’s Day Novena of Masses.
May God bestow abundant graces on our fathers who are still with us and take into His Kingdom the ones who have already passed away.

Prayer of Pope John XXIII - for Fathers
Saint Joseph, guardian of Jesus and chaste husband of Mary, you passed your life in loving fulfillment of duty.
You supported the holy family of Nazarethwith the work of your hands.
Kindly protect those who trustingly come to you.
You know their aspirations,their hardships, their hopes.
They look to you because they know you will understand and protect them.
You too knew trial, labour and weariness.
But amid the worries of material life,your soul was full of deep peace and sang out in true joy through intimacy with God's Son entrusted to you and with Mary, his tender Mother.
Assure those you protect that they do not labour alone.Teach them to find Jesus near them and to watch over Him faithfully as you have done.
Amen.
If you would like to make an offering for you enrollment(s), kindly send your check payable to St Mark Catholic Church to the parish office.
