Why is there not a Liturgical Feast in honour of the Father within the Catholic Church?

I do not think we need one. In the New Testament, Jesus tells us in John 10:30 that "I and my Father are one". So if Jesus and the Father are one then we can take it that when we give glory to Jesus at mass in the Church, we are also glorifying the Father as well.

The action of the Mass is the Son offering Himself to the Father with the Holy Spirit:
- Who is the principal priest in every Mass? The principal priest in every Mass is Jesus Christ, who offers to His heavenly Father, through the ministry of His ordained priest, His body and blood which were sacrificed on the cross. (a) The Mass is the same sacrifice as the sacrifice of the cross. It is now in the New Law, the sacrifice that is acceptable to God.1
Pray brethren that my sacrifice and yours be acceptable to God the Father almighty 2
So in that sense every Mass is celebrated for the Father. And every variation (whether of season, of Saint, or votive) is in addition to that.
