From before the moment of birth, through the rest of the child’s life, fathers are essential to the well-being of their children.
Unfortunately fathers and fatherhood in general are mocked and treated as unimportant. Pope John Paul II spoke on fathers in 1981 and said, “In revealing and in reliving on earth the very fatherhood of God, a man is called upon to ensure the harmonious and united development of all the members of the family.”
Walter Hoye II, Ruth Institute Board member, produced this touching tribute to his father, which highlights the good that fathers do for their families. He will be our keynote speaker at the 2021 Summit Awards dinner.
We have built this Fatherhood Resource Center to give the science, sound thinking, and stories about the importance of fatherhood for children, mothers, and also for society.
