James and Rebecca McLoughlin will mark their 60th wedding anniversary with a Mass celebrated by St. Nicholas pastor, Rev. Larry Purcell, 8 a.m. Aug. 5 in St. Nicholas Church, followed by a coffee reception in the Parish Center.
The McLoughlins were married Aug. 5, 1945, in Dublin, Ireland, and immigrated to the United States in January 1958. They settled in the Bronx, N.Y. Twenty years ago, they moved to the West Coast, and have spent the last 17 years in Los Altos Hills.
The couple raised four children: Mary Fiorino of New York, Lily Blake and Rebecca Cox both of Los Altos Hills and James P. Jr. of San Diego. They have eight grandchildren, 7 to 37, and five great-grandchildren with another one due in November.
The McLoughlins plan to return to Dublin later in the year to continue their 60th wedding celebration with all the “auld” folks and “relations” from their hometown.
