Invitation to Communion
Presider Behold what you are.
People May we become what we receive.
A Note about Holy Communion
Following Diocesan guidelines, 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.
If you require a Gluten-Free host, please indicate to the Brother administering Bread at Holy Communion if that is your preference.
Prayer after Communion
Presider Author of life divine, People in the breaking of bread we know the risen Lord.
Feed us always in these mysteries, that we may show your glory to all the world. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

The Monastery as Sanctuary
We want our Monastery to be a sanctuary for our guests and for the Brothers. Please silence your electronic devices. We also ask you not to photograph, video, or record services in the Chapel, or to photograph other guests or Brothers without their express permission.
Welcome
We are delighted to welcome you to the Monastery today, either in-person or online. If you are a visitor, or new to the Monastery or Community, please take a moment to introduce yourself to one of the Brothers following the Eucharist. If you are joining us online, drop us a note telling us where you are joining us from.
The Brothers wish you all a happy and joyous Eastertide!
