Couples Renew Wedding Vows at the Silver and Gold Jubilee Anniversary Mass Married couples from parishes throughout the Norwich Diocese came to participate in their Celebration of God’s By Susan Williams Gift of Love in the The Office of Family Life Sacrament of Marriage at the Annual Silver and Gold Jubilee Anniversary Mass at the Cathedral of St. Patrick on Sunday, October 16th. Couples celebrating their silver, gold or other anniversary significant to the couple renewed their marriage vows at the Pontifical Mass celebrated by Bishop Michael R. Cote and witnessed by family and friends. Along with all couples present, seven couples celebrated sixty or more years of marriage. Certificates blessing the marriages of couples who were present were awarded by Bishop Michael R. Cote. Following the Mass, celebrating couples along with their family and friends enjoyed spending time with Bishop Cote in the Cathedral Hall. Refreshments were enjoyed by all.
