The Diocese of Funchal and Justino's have announced a special event to present the new 'Vinho de Missa' made in Madeira, exclusively for clergy use.

On January 23rd, the Diocese of Funchal and Justino's, a renowned wine company, will officially present their new 'Vinho de Missa' in Madeira. This exclusive event will take place at noon at the Diocesan Seminary and is part of the Clergy Update Days, a series of sessions aimed at clergy enrichment.

The 'Vinho de Missa', which holds the endorsement of the Diocese of Funchal, is specially crafted for the celebration of the Eucharist. This initiative underscores the importance of local traditions and the role of Madeira's wine industry in religious ceremonies.

The event will be private, welcoming clergy from various parishes and members of the media. Participants will have the opportunity to taste the wine and learn about its production process, which adheres to the specific requirements for liturgical use.

Madeira is famous for its wine production, with a rich history dating back to the Age of Exploration. The introduction of a dedicated 'Vinho de Missa' highlights the island's commitment to preserving its cultural and religious heritage.

This initiative by Justino's not only strengthens the bond between the church and local businesses but also showcases the unique offerings of Madeira's wine industry.
