Catholic Outlook September 2015

FAMILY & LIFE
Witnessing
to the
strength
and value
of marriage
With Bishop Anthony Fisher OP at Celebrating the Journey last year are Morna and John Faehrmann, who have been married for more than 50 years.
Jonathan Doyle, renowned speaker on relationships and
founder of Choicez Media, in his address to the 2015 Faith
in Marriage Conference on 23 August outlined to the
audience the transforming nature of the witness to marriage
and family life by Christians in ancient Rome.
On Sunday 20 September, the Celebrating the Journey
Mass will be such an example of witness to the strength and
value of lifelong marriage.
Each year many couples in the Diocese attend this special
Mass of witness to blessings and longevity of their marriages.
All couples celebrating anniversaries of 25 years or more
and their families are warmly invited to attend the 11am Mass
in Saint Patrick’s Cathedral in Parramatta.
The Diocesan Administrator, Very Rev Peter Williams, will
be the Principal Celebrant.
Those couples celebrating significant anniversaries of 25,
30, 35, 40, 45, 50 years and over will receive a certificate of
blessing. All couples and their families are invited to attend a
light lunch in the Cathedral hall afterwards.
To participate in Celebrating the Journey this year please
register by 12 September through your Parish Secretary or
contact CatholicCare Social Services Diocese of Parramatta tel
