“How important you are to our diocesan church,” Bishop James P. Powers said to more than 100 couples celebrating milestone anniversaries in 2023. The men and women were gathered for the annual Wedding Jubilee Mass and luncheon, a diocesan event that took place Saturday, July 29, at the Cathedral of Christ the King, Superior.
After beginning his homily with a word of thanks for those who made the anniversary Mass possible, he continued, “How important the witness as husband and wife and family is for home, community and parish (and) for the world-at-large.”
As he reviewed the combined years of marriage celebrated – both virtually and in person – by the 104 recognized couples, Bishop Powers announced it was 4,914 years. There was laughter when he added that he was sure it was “all wedded bliss.”
He continued saying that the celebration’s focus was two of the oldest and most important institutions in the world – marriage and family.
