The annual Wedding Jubilee Celebration Mass was held May 15 at Rochester’s Sacred Heart Cathedral. Couples from all over the Diocese of Rochester came together to celebrate marriage and renew their vows to one another. At the end of the Mass Bishop Matthew H. Clark presented flowers to the longest-married couple in attendance, Walter and Cecilia Meisenzahl, who have been married 72 years.
