Ministering to fathers.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Alexandra Alter
MIAMI _ Gripping an earthenware pitcher of holy water, Juan Pollo kneels before his 17-year-old son Carlos. After they pray together, Pollo pours the consecrated water over his son's feet and recites a blessing: "Father, I thank you for the gift of my son Carlos, for whom I now pray and for whom I ask you to shower your blessings. With St. Joseph as my guide, may I always be ready to spend my life for him."
Moving slowly and deliberately, eight other fathers repeat the nondenominational ceremony that marks the high point of the father-son weekend retreat at the Roman Catholic youth center in Coconut Grove, Fla.
