San Fernando proclaims June as Fatherhood Well‑Being Month
Summary
Councilmember Patty Lopez introduced and the council adopted a resolution recognizing June as "Fatherhood Well‑Being Month" in San Fernando; the resolution urges community recognition of fathers and father figures.
The City Council unanimously adopted a resolution recognizing June as “Fatherhood Well‑Being Month” in the City of San Fernando.
Councilmember Patty Lopez introduced the resolution, citing a desire to give fathers and father figures public recognition similar to Mother's Day acknowledgements. Councilmember Joe Fajardo proposed minor edits to align the city declaration with county and state usage, recommending the phrasing “fatherhood well‑being month.” Councilmember Victoria Garcia suggested including both recognition and well‑being language to emphasize fathers’ roles and supports; the amended language was accepted.
The adopted resolution declares June of each calendar year as Fatherhood Well‑Being Month in honor of fathers and father figures and encourages citizens and organizations to support father engagement, parental responsibility and family unity. The city clerk will certify the resolution and staff will add the designation to the city’s recurring calendar of observances.
The action was symbolic and does not create a new program or budget obligation.
