Blessed Advent to you and your parish communities. As you may be aware, the Archdiocese of Atlanta is continuing to host the annual Mass for couples celebrating their 50th and 60th marriage anniversary.
The 50th and 60th Marriage Anniversary Mass will be celebrated on Saturday, February 8, at noon at Saint Brigid Catholic Church in Johns Creek, followed by a reception with a light meal. Archbishop Hartmayer will be the principal celebrant. The celebration in February reflects our effort to highlight National Marriage Week, which occurs February 7-14 of every year.
The RSVP link for anniversary couples is: http://tiny.cc/anniversarymass.
Included at the end of this letter is a parish bulletin announcement to publish in your online parish bulletins and newsletters. Additionally, Archbishop Hartmayer invites you 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. For questions, please contact Daniel West at dwest@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.
