My yiddisha mama would send us to church on Sunday - and we sampled all of them between home and the Sacred Heart (where we were suppose to go to the incense-scented High Mass which was sung in Latin and was attended by my grandmother who would check that we were there.)
I just recently learned that the Sacred Heart was built using the winnings by a priest of a lottery - more than likely a mexican lottery as this was long before state lotteries existed. He must have won the National Lottery to have built such a wondrous place.
