There’s feast days for events and truths about Jesus’ life, for the Holy Spirit coming down, and for the Trinity as a whole, but I can’t find any feast days dedicated to God the Father. There are plenty celebrating Mary and even some saints have two feast days.

Is there a feast day for God the Father? If not, is it an omission or by design?

(What is He, chopped liver?)
 
There is a group pushing for the first Sunday of August to be celebrated as the “Feast of the Eternal Father”. It’s not officially recognized because the groups pushing it refer in part to some unapproved private revelations and some of the things in the revelations seem doctrinally a bit questionable. We are not permitted to discuss unapproved private revelations here so I will leave it at that.

There is a prayer book of some sort relating to this (sometimes called “Feast of God the Father of All Mankind” put out by St. Andrew’s Productions. It has an imprimatur, fwiw.

I think one of the reasons we see more emphasis on Jesus is that He stated in Scripture that no one comes to the Father except through himself, so that’s why we have Jesus feast days. And Jesus sent us the Holy Spirit, which is why we have Holy Spirit feast days.
