Archbishop of Westminster to bless 600 married couples

More than 600 couples will be celebrating significant wedding anniversaries at a Mass in Westminster Cathedral this Saturday 11 June at 3pm. The Mass will be celebrated by the Most Reverend Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster who, in his homily, is expected to reflect on the importance of marriage for society.

By personal invitation, couples celebrating their 10th, 25th, 40th, 50th or 60th + wedding anniversaries during 2011 will gather to give thanks, renew their vows and pray for their families and all marriages. As part of the Mass, after the homily, the couples will face each other and state intentions to continue to love one another, and will be solemnly blessed by Archbishop Vincent Nichols.
