St. Mary Magdalen Church – Celebrate Marriage Sunday 2006

ABOVE: Married 57 years – Harriet and Wallace Derryberry

Celebrate Marriage Sunday at St. Mary Magdalen Catholic Church was beautifully organized in 2006 by Mary and Blake Van Brunt and Dawn and Sal Rivas. The Mass was celebrated by Father Ed Thompson and Deacon Henry Libersat. The turn out was nothing short of amazing! Over 70 couples registered for the event and even more showed up for the celebration. We had over 25 couples who had been married more than 50 years!

Our lectors were Liza and Dan Copeland, Tony and Nicole Calamarino, and Mary Ann and David Salazar. Our Cantor was Lisa Cioffi, and we were fortunate to have the bell choir add to the festivities. Our photographer was Doug McGee and internet photos were provided by Mary Jo Nocero.

Six couples celebrating 25 years of marriage took part in the presentation of the gifts: Anita and Leonard Kovalsky, Mike and Karen Malatesta, Mary and Maury Little, Connie and Sam Swisher, Margaret Kirk and Bill Brown, and Jeanette and Joe Gassie. Our longest married couple, Maria and Libero Nicolazzi, and most recently married couple, Missy and Bill Dailey, were honored with a marriage cross and a special certificate signed by our pastor, Father Charlie Mitchell.
