Pictures from Jan. & Feb. 2008 Marriage renewals

For the 3rd year, families gathered together to renew their marriage vows and the Covenant of Love with our Dear Mother Thrice Admirable.

There were two celebrations this year:

The first was during the Schoenstatt Family Sunday at St. Agnes,in St. Paul , Jan. 27th, with Fr. Kasel presiding. After renewing their vows, the couples shared a private pasta dinner, while the kids all had pizza, and viewed a video with Sr. M. Dianne , in Schuler Hall.

The second gathering took place at St. Charles, Bayport Mn. on Feb. 10th, (World Marriage day)during the Lenten Family Retreat.

Two special couples were present. Gene & Rose Deutsch had just celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary, and Jose & Beth Barriga,were married only one week. Congratulations!!!!!!!!!

Many reigious were present, including Fr. Francisco Rojas, Fr. Kasel, Fr. Gonzalo, a guest of Fr Kasel's from Uraguay, Deacon Gary Kasel, Sr. Miriam Lopez, & Sr M. Dianne Niehaus.

Both days were spiritually rich in graces, and all were grateful.
