Wine Blessing - Church

In honor of St. John's Feast Day, Fr. Chris will be offering a wine blessing this weekend after all the Masses.  St. John the Apostle, is the disciple "whom Jesus loved".  According to legend St. John drank a glass of poisoned wine without suffering harm because he had blessed it before he drank. The wine is also a symbol of the great love of Christ that filled St. John's heart with loyalty, courage and enthusiasm as he was not afraid to stay close to Jesus during the Passion and Crucifixion.  There will be a table set up in the Church for you to place your bottles  of wine before each Mass.
