What is the key to a successful, long-lasting marriage? According to Timothy and Mary O’Shea, who are celebrating 60 years of married life, it is patience and prayer.

“Pray the Rosary, be kind, and receive the sacraments on a regular basis to strengthen your faith,” Mary O’Shea told Jersey Catholic.

On May 3, Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin celebrated the annual Wedding Anniversary Mass at the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart, honoring couples marking milestone years of marriage.
