Cathedral of St. Patrick
5th Ave, between 50th and 51st Sts.
New York, NY 10022

This program is designed to affirm the sacredness and indissolubility of the Sacrament of Marriage by providing:

A special Mass for couples residing in the Archdiocese of New York who are celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary in 2012* is held to publicly recognize their powerful witness to the importance and permanence of marriage.  The married couples have the opportunity as a group to renew their wedding vows and receive a blessing from Cardinal Dolan at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick.  This Mass is always a regular Sunday Mass which fulfills your Sunday obligation and follows the normal Sunday mass readings. 

*If you do not live within the Archdiocese of New York, (i.e. if you live in Brooklyn, Queens, or other states) please check with your local parish or diocese to join in their 50th wedding anniversary celebrations. 

(There is also World Marriage Day  on February 12, 2012, which  celebrates the longest married couple in the Archdiocese of New York.  Click here for more information. )

This program provides a meaningful spiritual experience for the jubilarians and their families. *Registration for the event at the Cathedral of St. Patrick is handled through your New York Archdiocesan parish, not St. Patrick's office. The closing date to register for the 2012 Mass is April 13, 2012.  Please contact your parish; Your parish will fill out a registration form including your names, email (if available) and mailing address. About one month after the Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass, a 50th Wedding Anniversary certificate will be sent to the  mailing address that you supplied.   

There is no limit to the amount of family or friends who can attend, however, only the jubilee couples will have special seating. 

Congratulations on this beautiful testament to lifelong love and fidelity, we look forward to sharing this special Mass with you!
