Renewal of Wedding Vows
|
Dear Friend of St. Athanasius:
A renewal of wedding vows ceremony is a spiritual and meaningful
ceremony for you, your family and friends. As a married couple, it
is time to pause and reflect on where you have been and where you are
going. It is also a wonderful example to set for your children and
grandchildren.
The parish celebrates an Anniversary Mass on the first Saturday of the
month at 4:00 p.m. Mass. Couples who wish to renew their vows with
other parishioners are asked to call the Parish Office to register.
If you are interested in renewing your vows in a private ceremony in the
Old Church Chapel, please read the information provided carefully. If you
would like to discuss your vow renewal, please call me at the Parish
Office at 410-355-5740.
In Christ Jesus,
Rev. Robert A. DiMattei
Pastor
