Marriage establishes a holy covenant among three: one man, one woman, and God himself. The annual Silver & Gold Anniversary Mass is a testimony to the goodness of Christian marriage and the blessings it can bring. It is an opportunity to thank God for graces given and to ask for the continuing gift of grace to persevere in the commitments that have been made.Each year, Catholics marking milestone wedding anniversaries are invited to participate in this Mass, during which Bishop James Ruggieri will offer a special blessing to all married couples in the church.
