We are returning to the availability of Mass attendees receiving lowgluten hosts for the Eucharist. Intended for people who are allergic to wheat but who may not have Celiac disease, these host have a very small percentage of wheat in them. They consist of low-gluten flour which contains .002 percent gluten. By Cannon Law, any bread that ultimately becomes the Body of Christ must be made of wheat, or in this case at least have a minute trace of wheat. There are now a few low-gluten, consecrated hosts in the tabernacles at each of our 3 churches. If convenient, it would be good to notify the pastor, deacon or a Eucharistic Minister ahead of Mass that you wish to receive. If not convenient, just tell the person distributing Communion that you need a low-gluten host when you approach them in the Communion line. For those who have Celiac disease, whether formally diagnosed or not, and who cannot receive even these low-gluten host, please talk to Father Thomas or Deacon David about setting up a controlled way to receive the Precious Blood instead. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Father or Deacon.
