Celebrating faith, love
and 50 years of marriage
The Bishop’s Award for Service to the Church was inaugurated in 2012 to recognize the great work and true sacrifice made by lay men and women in the Diocese of Dallas. Nominated by their pastor, parish administrator or diocesan staff member, recipients of this award are practicing Catholics , exemplary volunteers, and known for their public witness to the Catholic faith.
Each person receiving the Bishop’s Award for Service to the Church accepts no compensation for their service, and is recommended by specific evidence of their virtuous good works. This award continues to be presented annually.
The Diocese of Dallas sincerely thanks all of the recipients of the Bishop’s Award for all of their tireless work to the diocese and to their parishes.

Prayer of a Couple on the Anniversary of Marriage
We praise you, O God, we bless you, Creator of all things, who in the beginning made man and woman that they might form a communion of life and love.
We also give you thanks for graciously blessing our family life so that it might present an image of Christ’s union with the Church.
Therefore, look with kindness upon us today, and as you have sustained our communion amid joys and struggles, renew our Marriage covenant each day, increase our charity, and strengthen in us the bond of peace, so that we may for ever enjoy your blessing. Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
