Couples wishing for their wedding anniversary to be announced in the bulletin are asked to please sign up using the online form (See the FAITH tab above, go to the Marriage heading.) OR call the parish office, OR drop a note in the weekend collection stating your name and wedding date. A parish list of anniversaries is difficult to maintain unless couples are willing to inform the office directly. Thank you for your help and understanding.
