A Note about Holy Communion Please refrain from intinction (dipping the Bread into the Chalice). If you wish to abstain from receiving from the Chalice, remember that the Church catholic has always taught that the fullness of the Sacrament is received even when only one form is received.

Please indicate to the Brother administering Bread at Holy Communion if you require a gluten-free Host.

Prayer after Communion Presider

God of steadfast love,

People

watch over the Church redeemed by the blood of your Son. May we who share in these holy mysteries come safely to your eternal kingdom, where there is one flock and one shepherd.

We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the risen Lord.

Amen.
