Feast of St. John Wine Blessing

Feast of St. John Wine Blessing – 9:00 am Mass at St. John

According to legend, St. John was served poisoned wine but survived because he blessed the wine before he put it to his lips; the poison rose from the chalice in the shape of a serpent. In his happy memory, it is traditional to bless wine on his feast day, December 27th. Our Pastorate is invited to participate with this ancient tradition this year – and we have made it easy for you! Fr. John has selected a bottle of wine for the blessing, and it can be purchased through the Frederick Winehouse online here:

Did not order wine? No worries! You can also bring your favorite wine and have it blessed at the end of Mass on December 27 at the St. John campus.
