I remember Latin vaguely and the "old-timers" expressing outrage at the switch. We didn't go to church every day, but did go often. I also remember saying the Rosary during May.

Do you remember having your throat blessed on St. Blaise's feast day?? The priest would had these two candles tied together to make an X, and he would lay them on your throat. It had something to do with St. Blaise saving a child from choking to death.
