This year the Silver & Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass will not be celebrated at the diocesan level due to COVID-19. Still, each parish will have the opportunity to celebrate this event at their parish if they wish to do so. If a parish chooses to celebrate this event, they will be responsible for receiving registrations, submitting the couple’s names for certificates, and recognizing the couples at a parish Mass. The Anniversary Mass is open to any couples celebrating their 25th, 50th, or 50+ wedding anniversary between January 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021.
The suggested date for the Anniversary Mass is Sunday, February 14, 2021. The Family Life Office will provide all the necessary forms and documents needed for the parishes to promote and receive registrations. Parishes will need to submit their registrations to the Diocese by January 29, 2021, so that the Family Life Office can print certificates, have them signed by the bishop, and mail them back to the parish in time for the Anniversary Mass.
The parishes will be provided with:
All registration forms are to be returned to the parish for processing.
