Chancery Events: Golden Jubilee Anniversary Mass
In May, the difficult decision was made to postpone the Golden Jubilee Wedding
Mass scheduled to have taken place on Sunday, June 7, 2020 at 2:30 PM at Saint
Patrick’s Cathedral.
Due to the uncertainty of large group gatherings in New York City, the Golden
Jubilee Wedding Mass will now be cancelled. We are disappointed, but the latest
guidance in the city and state preclude doing so.
To ensure all eligible couples are recognized for their faith, commitment and
fiftieth wedding anniversary, the office of special projects and events will work
with each parish to ensure wedding certificates are issued to commemorate this
blessed sacrament of marriage.
Parish staff may enroll golden jubilee couples for the commemorative certificate by
visiting: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/golden-jubilee-wedding-mass-registration114469094142.
Enrollment will close on Monday, November 2, 2020 at 5:00 PM.
Certificates will be mailed directly to each parish for your distribution. If you have
any questions, contact the office of special projects and events at (646) 794-2000
or send an email to [email protected] They will be happy to answer your
questions.
