The diocesan annual 50th Wedding Anniversary Mass with Bishop Malesic will take place on Saturday, June 24, 2023 at 9:30 AM in the Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist. The Cathedral will be open for seating at 9 AM on a first come first served basis.
All couples married in 1973 are invited and may bring family with them. This is not a ticketed event. There is no registration required.
If you cannot attend the diocesan annual Mass, we encourage pastors to recognize their Jubilarian Celebrations in a personalized way. Reach out to your pastor if you would like to have a special blessing at a Mass in your home parish.
The Bishop and Marriage and Family Staff are happy to help you commemorate this momentous occasion. At Mass, Bishop Malesic will give a formal blessing to all couples.
The Office of Marriage and Family Ministry is pleased provide a letter from Bishop Malesic and certificate for all couples married 50 years (attendance at the 50th Wedding Anniversary Mass is not required).
The certificates and letters are compiled one time for the entire year and must be requested online in advance. The deadline to request the certificate is July 1, 2023. They will be printed towards the end of August. Please ensure all information accurate before submitting. If there are any errors, we will happily adjust. Call 216-696-6525 ext 7670
