I am pleased to announce that the Archdiocese of Atlanta is continuing to host the annual Mass for couples celebrating their 50th and 60th marriage anniversary. This honored tradition is anticipated by jubilee couples each year. This year, jubilarian couples are welcome to bring up to four (4) additional guests to the Mass. The status of the reception following the Mass is to be determined, and further information will be sent to registrants by September.
The 50th and 60th Marriage Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 2, at 12 noon at Saint Brigid Catholic Church in Johns Creek. Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., will be the principal celebrant.
The RSVP link for anniversary couples is as follows: http://tiny.cc/anniversarymass.
Included at the end of this letter is a parish bulletin announcement to publish in your online summer bulletins and parish newsletters. Additionally, you are invited to concelebrate this special Mass. Your presence would be especially meaningful to the couples from your parish marking this milestone in their lives.
Thank you in advance for your kind assistance with this effort. If you have any questions, please contact Destiny Marquez at dmarquez@archatl.com. May God continue to bless you and the work you are doing every day for couples, families and all the people of God.
