World Marriage Day

The symbol of World Marriage Day uses a man and a woman candle-like figures that are meant to show that the love of a marriage is often used to help bring light to the world. The symbol then joins the couple with a heart, representing the power of love and unity that can give life and inspiration to others.

At St. Joseph parish married couples and widows/widowers will be blessed at all masses February 7-8, 2026.
