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.

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!
