Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Grace and peace to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
As we gather for our Parish Pastoral Assembly, I would first like to thank each and every one of you for your presence, your commitment, and your love for our parish community. Today is an important moment in the life of our parish. It is a moment to reflect on where we have come from, where we are today, and where the Holy Spirit may be leading us in the future.

Couples who are celebrating their Wedding Anniversary of 10 years and above, the Cathedral wishes to honour you with a Papal Blessing Certificate and on the day of the anniversary, a special blessing will be given to the couple at Mass along with the presentation of the certificate. Unfortunately, the Papal Blessing is issued in intervals of 5 years. That means the certificate is given only for the 10th,15th, 20th anniversaries, so forth. The Vatican Office for Apostolic Blessing does not issue certificates for anniversaries in between. For example, there are no certificates for 22nd or 36th anniversaries. However, couples in this category may still receive a special blessing at Mass on the day of their actual wedding anniversary. Please furnish your anniversary details at least 2 months in advance.
结婚纪念日宗座降福状 凡庆祝结婚十周年及以上的夫妇，耶稣圣心主教座堂谨致以祝贺，并将以宗座降福状表彰您们的婚姻。 于结婚纪念日当天的弥撒中，夫妇将接受特别祝福，并获颁宗座降福状。 宗座降福状每五年颁发一次，仅适用于结婚十周年、十五周年、二十周年等纪念日。 梵蒂冈宗座降福办公室不为非五年周期的纪念日（如二十二周年、三十六周年）颁发降福状。 未符合颁发降福状条件的夫妇，仍可于其实际结婚纪念日当天的弥撒中接受特别祝福。 请有意申请者至少提前两个月向办公室提交结婚纪念日相关资料。
