2026 Father of the Year!
Peter Barnat
On Father’s Day, it was an honor and privilege to recognize a truly deserving individual as our Father of the Year, Peter Barnat !!!
A father is someone who leads by example, offers guidance, provides support, and demonstrates unconditional love. Peter embodies all of these qualities and so much more.
As a devoted husband and father, he has built a family rooted in faith, love, and strong values. Through his actions, he has shown the importance of hard work, integrity, compassion, and dedication. His family is a reflection of the care and commitment he gives every day.
Beyond his role at home, he has been a tireless servant of our church and community. Whether volunteering his time, lending a helping hand, supporting parish events, or working behind the scenes to ensure things get done, he is always willing to step forward when needed. His commitment to our parish is unwavering, and his contributions have made a lasting impact on all of us.
What makes him especially deserving of this recognition is that he serves not for praise or recognition, but out of genuine love for God, his family, and this community. His humility, generosity, and willingness to help others inspire us all.
We celebrated not only the many things he does, but the person he is—a faithful parishioner, a dedicated community member, a role model, and above all, an outstanding father.
Please join us in congratulating our Father of the Year, Peter Barnat , and thanking him for his many contributions to his family, our church, and our community.
May God continue to bless him and his family with health, happiness, and many years of continued service.
Congratulations and well deserved!
