This is not protocol, by a long shot.

Hugs, Lost. I think he knows about what's going on with your grieving, right? I imagine he understands about the hug and is accepting of it. In his role, I imagine he gets hugs from other parishioners, too. So it's different from if you, say, suddenly gave your plumber a hug. I suspect he's OK with it, even if he may have been a bit surprised.
I imagine you'll see him for some sort of holiday service? I hope you can feel more OK in yourself about what happened and that he will greet you warmly.
