Saint Patrick's Cathedral - 2012
Below is the 35th wedding anniversary blessing that was done on June 10, 2012— 35 years to the day that Highly and I got married at Saint Patrick’s. I had called the Cathedral several times to set it up as Highly and I were going to be in town for a niece’s graduation. Never heard back from the rectory.. Showed up on the steps for Mass, approached an usher, and he made it happen… beyond our wildest imagination. Father appeared ( he died that summer in Chicago.. I am sorry I do not know his name). He was so inviting, so gracious. He got our names and then said he would call us up. Not only was he going to do a blessing for us, he was acknowledging all the graduates from kindergarten thru college! He made everyone feel special. He had Highly and I bring up the gifts. At the end of the Mass, he called us up again… talked to us.. drew laughter from the crowd when he asked if their was passion in the marriage, and proceeded to involve the whole congregation in giving us a blessing. We felt so blessed, so honored.. Never did any of us think that he would be gone that summer and Highly would be gone in November 2012. Regards, Sally Falkner
