Annual blessing of wine

From the Toledo Blade: Resurrection PNCC plans ‘Blessing of the Wine’

Resurrection Polish National Catholic Church will hold a traditional ‘Blessing of the Wine’ service on Dec. 28.

The ceremony is an old tradition in the Catholic Church and one that the PNCC has followed for many years, according to Chris Cremean, a member of Resurrection PNCC.

People can bring their personal wine from home to be blessed, he added.

The Rev. Jaroslaw Nowak, pastor, will perform the blessing at the 12:15 p.m. service at the church, 1835 West Temperance Rd., Temperance. More Information is available by calling the church, 734-874-5052.

Irony – the blessing of wine on Temperance Road in Temperance, Michigan… 🙂

I previously wrote on this event, which takes place every December 28th on the Feast of St. John the Evangelist. My post includes the Rite used in the PNCC. For more information, contact your local PNCC Parish.
