Father’s Day Collection for Diocesan Retired Priests 6/20 & 6/21

As we celebrate Father’s Day and give thanks for the fathers and father figures who have guided us with love and faith, we also remember our spiritual fathers, our priests, who have dedicated their lives to serving God and His people.

The Father’s Day Additional Collection, taking place on June 20–21, supports retired and infirm priests of the Diocese of Joliet. These faithful shepherds have spent their lives ministering to our parishes, celebrating the sacraments, preaching the Gospel, and accompanying families through life’s joys and sorrows.

Your gift helps provide essential care and support for priests facing serious illness, ensuring they receive the dignity, safety, and quality care they deserve.

Please prayerfully consider supporting this important collection. Thank you for your generosity and for remembering our priests in your prayers.
