Our sign of peace is pretty tame. When we camp, OY! I’ve been to some parishes where that’s longer than communion!
The Spanish congregation can go overboard, and our previous pastor, now retired, was very social. We’d do five verses and a guitar-and-viola interlude! Our new pastor isn’t quite as free-and-easy, but he’s loosened up since coming to the parish.
As I said above, I’m of two minds. Although I have personal preferences about liturgy, I’m so happy to be at Mass - and especially to see our growing Spanish congregation - that details don’t really matter to me. Mass in Vietnamese with gongs? Just fine!
