Holy Family, Mount Lambert had a double reason for celebrating on the Third Sunday of Lent (Feb 27). Three couples received a Papal Blessing, having being married for 50 years or more. On the same day, another parishioner celebrated a special birthday.
Papal Blessings were bestowed on:

Lancelot and Vio Rivers - 50 years

Oliver and Julie Aqui - 52 years

Kenneth and Seraphine Sylvester – 58 years
Another church stalwart, Claire Williams celebrated her 90 th birthday. One of her secrets to longevity is her daily early morning walk around the perimeter of Mt Lambert.
Seminarian, Brother Cornelius, delivered the homily. He cited the couples as exemplary in a society that often puts conventions, like marriage aside.
