Even if you would not feel comfortable asking your priest to hug you -- tell him what you have told us. I think it is a shame that during the 'peace of christ' no one touches you. I would think if your priest is not comfortable hugging you he may be able to talk to someone in the congregation who could hug you. Maybe you could adopt a grandma? I wish I was closer I would hug you, we have times to shake hands and in my church EVERYONE gets at least a handshake. Many exchange hugs.
