2009 Wedding Anniversary Celebration

Over the past 26 years, the Diocese of Manchester has celebrated a special liturgy that affirms the sacredness of Christian marriages that have grown through the years.  Bishop McCormack will be the celebrant at this Mass honoring all couples who in 2009 mark their 25th, 30th, 35th, 40th, 45th, 50th, and above anniversaries. 

Couples marking one of these significant anniversaries should contact their parish by August 14, 2009 in order that their names are included in the invitation list.  Bishop McCormack looks forward to celebrating your anniversary with you on Sunday, October 11, 2009, at 2:00 p.m. at Saint Anselm Abbey Church.  During this financially challenging time, we will not be able to provide a reception following this liturgy.  We appreciate your understanding.
