"The wedding anniversary should be celebrated as part of a community liturgical celebration, along with a special blessing for the spouses. On major anniversaries (e.g., every five years), a renewal of marriage vows could be suggested to the bride and groom. Families are an integral part of their Church community and the Church celebrates with them and shares their joys and journey, thus becoming a family of families." -- Catechumenal Pathways for Married Life, No. 83, promulgated 2022.
“On the main anniversaries of Marriage, as for example, on the twenty-fifth, fiftieth or sixtieth anniversary, it is fitting to hold a special remembrance of the Sacrament by means of the celebration of the Mass… and for the couple to pray in silence and renew before God their commitment to live their Marriage in holiness.” -- From the Order of Blessing A Married Couple Within Mass on the Anniversary of Marriage, No. 237 and 240, promulgated 2016.
