World Marriage Day - Sunday, February 14, 2010
World Marriage Day is an annual event, sponsored by Worldwide Marriage Encounter (the largest Catholic pro-marriage and family movement in the world) and the Family Life/Respect Life Office of the Archdiocese of New York. It honors and affirms the vocation of husbands and wives and the positive impact of their dedicated example on our society, families, communities, Church, and nation. Each year on World Marriage Day, the 10:15 a.m. Mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral in Manhattan is offered in grateful recognition of married couples everywhere, with particular attention focused on the longest-married couple in the Archdiocese. Immediately following the Mass is a reception in the Cathedral meeting room. This annual event always draws huge numbers of couples and families who want to be a part of this special celebration.
