‘Low Gluten Hosts’ Are Available At All Masses!
Cards on Stands (pictured at right) will be available on
the Welcome Cart when you come in. If someone needs
a ‘Low Gluten Host,’ please take one Card on Stand, and
place it on the wooden Sanctuary floor, next to Minister
Check-In Tablet, then take a seat somewhere in the front,
middle left section, in front of Podium (Ambo). This
must be done at least 15+ minutes before each Mass
begins. The Sacristan will retrieve any Cards on Stands
(by the Tablet) five minutes before Mass (when Choir
Prelude begins), and bring it in the Sacristy, where they
will place one special, ‘Low Gluten Host’ for each Card
on Stand, in a specially marked pyx, to be consecrated on
the tray with the other unconsecrated hosts during Mass.
When it is time for Holy Communion, the Gluten
Intolerant person comes up in the front, middle left
section isle, along with everyone else. When it is their
turn to receive, they will step out of the line, and head
over to the designated Eucharist Minister (standing/
waiting in front of Ambo), who will administer the
Consecrated ‘Low Gluten Host’ to them – then they
return to their seat.
If no Card on Stand is left on the
wooden Sanctuary floor (by the Tablet) at least 15+
minutes before Mass begins, no special ‘Low Gluten
Host’ will be Consecrated at that Mass.
