Parish Celebration of Marriage as a Sacramental Institution—7th September 20013—Married this year? Getting married later this year? Celebrating a ‘special’ wedding anniversary this year (i.e. 1st, 5th, 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th (or later)). Then you and your immediate family are invited to the Vigil Mass in the church at 6.00 p.m. on Saturday 7th September, and to a wine and cheese party thereafter in the Upper Hall. There will be a special emphasis on Marriage at the Mass, during which you will receive a memento of the occasion. This year marriage and what it means have been under particular attack from the secular society. In this way the parish can affirm the importance of marriage and its sacramental nature. To help in planning the event, if you are coming please complete a form at the back of the church and leave it in the box provided or contact Dominique (943-0975).
