Golden wedding anniversaries celebrated

A special Mass and program were held at the Over 55 Club’s regular monthly meeting on May 17 to honor six couples that are celebrating their 50 plus wedding anniversaries during the past two years. 

The St. Pius X Jubilarians include from left to right: Leroy and Barbara Bailey, Jim and Judy Hall, Jim and Kay Eiting, John and Maryann Perez, Darwin Hutchinson (wife Debbie was in the hospital with a broken ankle) and Joe and Sylvia Vasquez.

Because of the COVID-19 closures, the Over 55 Club did not meet for two years, so this special celebration brought the club up to date on their special commemoration of members’ golden wedding anniversaries.

Msgr. Larry Pichard, assisted by Deacon Mike Shaw, offered the Mass and Homily as well as a special Nuptial Blessing for the jubilarians. 

After the Mass, a special program was held in the Parish Hall followed by a reception for the couples and their friends and members.

The St. Pius X Over 55 Club holds a regular meeting on the third Tuesday of each month in the Parish Hall. For information about the club, contact President Anne Kotrany at 214-324-3434.
