On Sunday, October 13, 2024, Anthony and Joanne Patrick celebrated their 50th Anniversary of Holy Marriage. A prayer of thanksgiving was offered to Almighty God for all of His countless blessings throughout their shared life together. We heartily congratulate the Patricks on this historic milestone and we ask that the Lord continue to bless them for many more years to come!

Prayer of Thanksgiving

O Lord Jesus Christ our God, the God of all mercies and bounties Whose mercy is immeasurable, and whose love for mankind is an unfathomable deep: falling down in adoration before Thy majesty, with fear and trembling, as unprofitable servants, and now humbly rendering thanks unto Thy loving-kindness for Thy benefits bestowed upon Thy servants, Anthony and Joanne, who celebrate their 50^th Wedding Anniversary, we glorify Thee, we praise Thee, we sing Thee and we magnify thee as our Lord, and Master, and Benefactor; and again falling down before Thee, we humbly thank Thee, supplicating Thy boundless and inexpressible mercy. And in that Thou hast graciously vouchsafed to accept the petitions of Thy servants and to fulfill them, so also grant that henceforth thy servants may be delivered from every hostile assault, and may be vouchsafed peace and tranquility, and that increasing in true love of Thee, and in all virtues, they may together with us receive Thy benefits; so that we may ever offer thanksgiving unto Thee, together with Thy Father, Who is from everlasting, and Thine all holy, and good, and life giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.
