VMRenewal of Marriage Vows
“Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”
Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
A parish should take every opportunity to strengthen the bonds of those who have said YES to one another in the sacrament of marriage. A renewal of vows is a way for a couple to celebrate their marriage and let other parishioners know that no matter how long a couple has been married, they would do so again! This can be done any time of year or on or around World Marriage Day (Second Sunday of February), July 12, the feast day of Saints Louis and Zelie Martin, parents of St. Therese of Lisieux, or July 26, the feast day of Saints Joachim and Anne, parents of the Virgin Mary. Consider combining this activity with one of the other affirming activities for marriage, such as a reception or dance, blessing for all married couples, handing out prayer cards for the married couples.
