Marriage anniversaries celebrated with special Mass at Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart
This past Sunday, Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. celebrated a Mass for marriage anniversaries of five and 25 years at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Newark. Cardinal Tobin spoke before dozens of couples and their accompanying families, blessing their marriages with a special message: in a society full of distractions that tempt us to say “no” to people, these enduring marriages are a testament to the power of saying “yes” and sacrificing for one another.
