June is the month of dads and grads, and this year Facebook is ready to help you celebrate Father's Day.

Last month, Facebook celebrated Mother's Day with a new purple flower reaction; this month, it'll help you celebrate Father's Day on the social network with a new sticker pack.

The sticker pack, called "Fatherly Love," will have stickers featuring fathers of all cultures, family types and background, a Facebook spokesperson told Mashable.

The Fatherly Love stickers will be available to use June 17, a few days before Father's Day on June 19. They offer Facebook users a fun little way to show appreciation for their father figures.

Stickers on Facebook were first introduced in 2013, and more have been added over time, including the recent Australia Day stickers. So far, most of the stickers launched for specific days have stuck around, so unlike the short-lived Mother's Day reaction, your Father's Day sticker pack probably won't go away any time soon.

It's possible that Facebook could be testing out a new reaction or other Messenger feature like it did for Mother's Day, too, but for now we will have to wait and see.
