In an interview with Il Messaggero newspaper, Father Formenton said the idea was “born as a game, thought up with the youth members of the parish and mainly targeted towards them.” “Every Sunday, at the end of Mass, I put a stamp on the card, to certify [the owner’s] attendance. “It’s just a game, but it helps to remind everybody that faith is a commitment and, as such, it does not go on holiday,” Formenton said. Seeing how the story went viral, the priest took to his Facebook on Monday to write a message in the Veneto dialect, saying: “All this fuss for a prosecco and a couple of crisps?” Think it is important?
