    we gave 50. then b4 we left the church, the priest gave me a wink to follow him down to the back of the church where he said i need to give another 20 for the sacristian. i gave it to him , with the shock.

    i was disgusted . still am. annoys me looking at him every sunday since. we were new to the parish at the time . a right turn off
