22 happy couples celebrated their milestone wedding anniversaries at a special Mass in our parish on 13/08/2017. They included one couple celebrating their first anniversary, five marking their 10th anniversary, and eight couples with milestones of between 50 and 61 years. Our most senior couple this year was Margaret and Lawrence Edmond, celebrating 63 years, who were unfortunately unable to attend as Lawrence was in hospital. The 23 couples have chalked up an impressive total of 792 years of marriage.
During his homily, Fr Thai congratulated the couples on being wonderful examples of marital commitment and an inspiration for other married couples. He then led the couples in a moving renewal of their marriage vows. Following Mass, the couples and their families enjoyed a shared meal in the parish centre, while being entertained by John Richards and guest singer, Selena.
The organising team would like to thank Fr Thai for celebrating a beautiful Mass, the parish hospitality team, Karen and James De Rozario, Xavier Das for helping to set up the Power Point presentation, John and Selena and members of our familes who helped on the day.
