Save the Date: Diocese to Recognize Anniversary Couples

Sunday, October 3 is the date set for the annual Silver and Golden Wedding Anniversary Mass at the Cathedral of Saint Patrick in Norwich.

Bishop Michael Cote will be the main celebrant for this year’s Mass, which will honor the enduring love of married couples. The Mass will begin at 2 p.m. Each couple registering for the Mass will receive a signed certificate from the bishop.

The names of all registrants and their anniversary dates will also be listed on a special Anniversary Page on the Diocese of Norwich website and included in The Four County Catholic, our diocesan newspaper.

Couples may also e-mail a digital photo in a jpeg format of themselves to be included in a gallery of pictures on the website.

If you are celebrating a significant anniversary this year and would like to attend the Mass and be recognized by Bishop Cote, please register by sending the following information: husband and wife’s name, address, telephone number, wedding date, anniversary being celebrated and parish to: Mary- Jo McLaughlin, Catholic Family Services Coordinator, 199 Broadway, Norwich, CT 06360 or at mmclaughlin@norwichdiocese. net or by telephone at 860-848- 2237, Ext 312.

The registration deadline is September 10, 2021. The Mass will be live streamed over the Diocesan website for those couples who are not able to attend in person.
