ANNUAL WEDDING ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS & MASSES

The Office of Family Life is excited to announce the annual Diocesan Wedding Anniversary Celebrations! In the words of Pope Francis, "Marriage is the most beautiful thing that God has created." The event includes a Mass with Bishop Edward M. Rice, followed by a reception. All married couples are cordially invited to attend with their family and friends. These occasions enable all of us to celebrate and affirm the great gift of married love within our families and communities. Please make plans to attend!
