Significant Wedding Anniversaries Celebrated At St. Joseph Church

Each year, we invite couples celebrating a “multiple of 5” wedding anniversary to renew their vows in front of their parish family.  This year, we had five couples who accepted the invitation: our senior couple, Paul & Gail Champigny (60), who are up from Florida, Richard & Gertrude Voykto (50), Brian & Marcia Drummey (50), John & Lynn Kain (25) and our “newlyweds,” Scott & Mary Holloway (20).

Father Tony would also like to thank Gail Champigny’s brother, the Reverend Clifford Jones, for concelebrating this very special Mass.

Each couple was given a corsage of red and white carnations to wear.

After renewal of their vows, their wedding rings were blessed and each couple was given a certificate to remember the event.

A reception for the couples and their family and friends was given in the rectory dining room after the Mass.  A very special thanks to our Family & Community Life members for providing the goodies!
