Bishop Matano honors commitment of married couples

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

"It appears the best words that you both said were, 'I do,'" Bishop Salvatore R. Matano exclaimed as he handed a bouquet of flowers to William and Athalene Fisher at Sacred Heart Cathedral Aug. 29.

The Fishers were among the more than 100 couples who’d gathered at the cathedral for the Diocese of Rochester's annual Marriage Jubilee Mass. During the liturgy, the couples renewed their marriage vows and applauded when Bishop Matano honored the Fishers as the longest-married couple present at the Mass.
