LOW GLUTEN HOSTS

We have a supply of low-gluten hosts for those who are unable to receive Communion because of gluten intolerance. It has a gluten content of less than .001% or 10ppm and is approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. If you wish to use this bread, here is the procedure:

• Before Mass, go into the priests’ vesting room off of the Gathering Space.
• You will find glass containers for both the bread and the pyx.
• Place one host in a pyx, close it, and place the pyx on the altar before Mass.
• During Communion, as you reach the priest, deacon or Eucharistic minister, ask him/her to give you the pyx from the altar.
• You open the pyx and receive Communion. Receive from the chalice if you wish.
• Keep the pyx and return it to the glass case in the vesting room after Mass.
• If you have any questions or concerns, contact the office or a Eucharistic Minister.
