    • Abstract:
      The article focuses on the multiple wedding held at Queen of Peace Church in Mesa, Arizona, which is an effort on the part of the parish to reach out to marginalized couples. The couples came one at a time in alphabetical order and made their vows before Father Bennett and the congregation. It mentions that the church has been involved in multiple weddings during a single Mass for at least 13 years.
