This is a friendly reminder about the annual Mass for couples celebrating their 50th and 60th Marriage Anniversary. Thus far, the planning for the Mass on Saturday, October 2, continues, but any updates or changes will be communicated as soon as possible.
The 50th and 60th Marriage Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, October 2, at noon at Saint Brigid Catholic Church, in Johns Creek. Archbishop Gregory J. Hartmayer, OFM Conv., will be the principal celebrant.
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 RSVP link for anniversary couples is as follows: http://tiny.cc/anniversarymass.
Included at the end of this memo 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.
