In this Good Day Kansas segment, we take a look at our Fatherhood FIRE program at the Wichita office. Case manager and class facilitator Vernon shares how the program equips fathers with the tools, confidence, and community they need to become more engaged and supportive parents. Whether they grew up without a strong father figure or simply want to improve, Fatherhood FIRE offers a path forward.
Vernon speaks to the impact of the program—not only on the participants, but on himself as a father of three. While many dads are hesitant at first, the class quickly becomes a place of encouragement and growth. Fathers support one another, reflect on their own experiences, and learn how to build stronger relationships with their children and co-parents. Through this journey, Saint Francis Ministries helps create lasting change for families—starting with dads who show up, learn, and lead with love.
