June 2009:

June is the month for Fathers!
God is our Heavenly Father and Joseph was Jesus' father. This month we celebrate Father's Day on Sunday, June 21st. Why not try one of these cool activities:

• Send Dad a Catholic Greeting e-Card!
• Interview your Dad or Granddad and learn about they were like when they were kids!

Scripture for June: "For God has commanded, 'honor your father and mother'..." Matthew 15:4
