The Diocesan Celebration of Married Life at St Marie’s Cathedral was a joyous and deeply moving occasion

Bishop Marcus led a diocesan celebration of married life at St Marie’s Cathedral for couples celebrating significant wedding anniversaries. The event included 16 couples and their families, with a combined total of 730 years of marriage.

During the liturgy, which featured the First Letter of St Paul to the Corinthians, Bishop Marcus shared the story of a couple celebrating their 80th wedding anniversary. The participants renewed their commitments to one another by holding hands and receiving the blessing of married couples and the blessing of rings. Following the service, the couples gathered for refreshments.
