Anniversaries/Birthdays


The Lumen publishes anniversary and birthday announcements in its bi-monthly publication. See below for the paper’s policies regarding these announcements and how to submit them.
The Lumen publishes anniversaries with a photo of those married 50 years or more in increments of five years (i.e. 50, 55, 60, 65, etc.) at no charge. Information to possibly include with an anniversary announcement:
  • Names including wife’s maiden name.
  • Date of couple’s anniversary and when they will celebrate.
  • Original date of wedding, where they were married and possibly who presided.
  • Current parish the couple belongs to.
  • Names of children and spouses and where they live.
  • The number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
  • The couple’s address if the family wishes to hold a card shower.

Birthday celebrations with a photo are published for those celebrating 90th birthdays and older at no charge. Information to possibly include with a birthday announcement:
  • Name of the person celebrating.
  • Birthdate and year celebrating.
  • Parish the person belongs to.
  • Names of children and spouses and where they live.
  • Number of grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
