Wedding Anniversary
Celebrations
STEWARDSHIP AT HOLY APOSTLES
“Thought of the Week”
Diocesan Celebration
The Office of Marriage Preparation &
Enrichment is sponsoring the Tenth Annual
Wedding
Anniversary
Celebration
honoring
couples of the Diocese of
Providence who will be
observing their 25th, 40th,
50th and Over wedding
anniversary in 2016. The
celebration will be held on Sunday,
September 25, 2016 at 1:00PM at the
Cathedral of SS. Peter & Paul, Providence and
will include Mass, renewal of the marriage vows,
a personalized certificate for each couple and a
reception for the couples and their families.
Bishop Thomas J. Tobin will be the main
celebrant. Couples who would like to attend can
register for this event by contacting the parish
office before August 23rd.
Jesus is describing God’s immeasurable
generosity when He says in today’s Gospel,
“Whoever asks, receives; whoever seeks, finds;
whoever knocks, is admitted.” But it should
also be the description of us as Christian
stewards – those seeking to follow Christ by
using our gifts in service to others.
Time and Talent - We wish to thank all those
parishioners who are always so willing to pitch
in and lend a helping hand. Their participation
contributes to the vibrancy of our community.
Treasure – Thank you for your financial
support.
ONLINE GIVING
Parish Celebration
As part of celebration of the 25th Anniversary
of Holy Apostles Parish, we will have a
special parish celebration on Sunday, October
9, 2016 at the 11:00 AM Mass for those
celebrating milestone anniversaries as well as
any couples who were married in Holy Apostles
Parish over the past
twenty-five years. There
will be the opportunity for
the renewal of vows as well
as a special blessing. Of the
269 couple who have been
married in our parish (as of
yesterday), a number still live in the parish and I
am counting on families and friends to spread
the word to others who may have moved away.
It would be great to have a good representation
of couples join us on that day.

bank or credit card. All transactions are done
electronically, debiting your bank account or
