Parish Celebration of Marriage as a Sacramental Institution—7th September 2013—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.
