CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Excerpt from the foreword of “Man to Man, Dad to Dad: Catholic Faith and Fatherhood” by  Brian Caulfield:

I hear from many men who are quietly yet heroically living a life according to conscience, guided by natural law and the teaching of the Church. Even if they have not lived perfect lives, these men understand the dual meaning of the term “Fathers for Good.” First, once a man has a child, he is a father for good– there is no giving back the gift or commitment that comes with responsibilities. Second, every man, amid his own sin and weakness, deep down wanted to be a good father. He wants to offer something of lasting value to his child that only a father can give. He knows that despite many negative portrayals in popular media and culture, there is a great dignity in the role of father. 

Despite our best efforts, these are still difficult days for men and for fathers. Our identity and duties have been in flux for decades, and it is time for us to start building something new and better from the shifting sands of our culture. It’s time to build the next Greatest Generation. If you’re a man who has faith even the size of a mustard seed, there is a path for your marriage and your fatherhood that leads to the greatest satisfaction a person can have in this world– the grace and accomplishment of finding your vocation. True fatherhood is a call from God the Father.
