A Note about Holy Communion
We welcome you to Holy Communion.
Gluten-free bread is available; please indicate to your server.
It is not our practice to intinct (dip) the bread into the wine. 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.
Prayer after Communion
Presider God of grace, People today we raise our voices to magnify your holy name, and, in our own generation, to call her blessed who became the mother of our Savior Jesus Christ.
May we who have shared this holy food continue, with her, in your glorious kingdom, founded and established in Jesus Christ our Lord. We ask this in his name. Amen.
