The diversion of the ships to longer and safer routes, he said, “has affected the arrival of Mass wine, which we had expected to be here at the beginning of April.”
“The information from our shippers indicates that wine will arrive in mid-May, and we hope to clear it through Uganda customs by the end of the month of May,” the priest said.
Catholic priests in Ugandan parishes and institutions have been urged to “regulate the use of wine as much as possible.”
Tulu apologized for “any inconveniences caused by this unforeseen situation.”
According to canon law, Mass must be celebrated with the use of wheat bread and grape wine to which a small quantity of water is to be added.
The wine that is used in the liturgy must be natural, from the fruit of the grape, pure and incorrupt, and not mixed with other substances.
