On Nov. 16, 84 couples who marked 25, 50, and 60 or more years of marriage celebrated their love for each other and their example to all in the world with Bishop Kevin J. Sweeney during the annual Diocesan Silver and Gold Mass at the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Paterson, N.J.
Bishop Sweeney was the principal celebrant of the Mass, which the Office of Family Life of the Paterson Diocese in New Jersey coordinated. The couples renewed their vows before Bishop Sweeney. Several priests from parishes where the couples are parishioners came to support them and were concelebrants of the Mass.
