I remember drinking a glass of wine every year at the Christmas late night feast after mass as a teenager. A full stomach and a glass of wine....the most blissful sleep, couldn’t keep my eyes open.
Wow - you got vino after Mass?!?! At church or at home? The priest at my old church was a teetotler, but a great guy - Saturday Mass started at 4 pm, was done by 4:20 pm. As an altar buy, I was out the door by 4:30.
RIP Father C.!
