The annual Wedding Anniversary Mass to Celebrate the Vocation of Marriage will be celebrated this year at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception on Saturday, February 8, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. Any couple is welcome to attend regardless of the anniversary year. This Annual Mass is a celebration of the living vocation of all couples who provide a Catholic witness to the beauty of the Sacrament of Matrimony. Most Reverend Evelio Menjivar-Ayala will be the main celebrant.
In addition, we invite couples to share a story that could be highlighted in one of the diocesan-wide publications about their faith journey in their marriage. Please click here (registration link coming soon!) or call the parish office (202.966.6575) by Friday, January 24, 2024 to attend the Mass and/or receive a certificate from Cardinal Wilton Gregory in honor of their anniversary year.
