In this month dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, families also celebrate Father’s Day this Sunday. In his column for the June 2026 issue of Columbia, Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly reflects on devotion to the Sacred Heart and authentic fatherhood, noting that men can find essential lessons in the Mass on what it means to have a father’s heart whose source is the love of God the Father. “The Mass teaches us that Jesus entrusts us with a mission and sends us forth,” he writes. “[God] is greater than the forces shaping our world, and he gives us the capacity to achieve great things if we rely on him.”
