Parishioners renew marriage vows at World Marriage Day celebration at St. Catherine's

The weekend of Feb. 14-15 is celebrated by the Church as World Marriage Day. Father Chester led parish couples in a renewal of their wedding vows at all Masses to "honor husband and wife and to salute the beauty of their faithfulness."

The celebration is also intended to remember and support those who are widowed, separated and divorced and all who need to feel the Church's maternal care in the circumstances in which they find themselves.

Father Chester asked parishioners to pray for every family in our parish, especially for those families whose lives are made difficult by health issues, financial woes, and other obstacles they encounter, not only on World Marriage Sunday but every day.
