Today we celebrate Grandparents Day. Let us pray for all grandparents who we honor today.

GRANDPARENTS ARE GOD’S GIFT TO CHILDREN

Giving generously of themselves through the years,
with hugs and words to ease young fears,
telling lively stories that light up a child face,
living in faith while finding God’s grace,
showing that each day is filled with love,
grandparents are a gift from heaven above.
God bless you......................... Fr. Tom
