To all the fathers of St. Maarten,
Today, we pause to celebrate you the men who lead with strength, who guide with patience, and who love with unwavering dedication.
Whether you are a father by blood, by heart, or by example, your presence in the lives of our children and families makes a lasting impact on our island’s future. In your everyday acts whether big or small you are shaping a generation and building stronger, more compassionate communities.
To the fathers working long hours to provide, the grandfathers, uncles, mentors, and father figures who step in when needed to assist in one way or the other, you are seen, you are valued, and appreciated.
On behalf of the Ministry of Public Health, Social Development, and Labor, I extend heartfelt thanks to each of you. May today be a reminder that your role matters deeply and that your love and leadership are irreplaceable.
Happy Father’s Day. May your day be filled with joy, love, and the appreciation you truly deserve.
Warm regards,
Minister Richinel S.J. Brug
